Do you think it will be possible for human life to have a 500 year life span in the future?

Answer 1

500 years is too short for me. I was thinking of living at least 5,000 years. I believe there are many different ways to prolong human life such as improvement in medicine and gene technology but I've been thinking of this radical idea which involves teleportation technology. You get inside one teleportation device old and sick and come out of the other teleportation device young and healthy. You go through this teleportation periodically and you'll live forever. Only problem is that current technology is too primitive to make this work. I believe and hope that before I die, scientists will be able to create such a device. As a matter of fact, I am going to be one of the scientists who will make this happen since I don't believe not many scientists are optimistic enough and will want to focus their work on developing such a technology. And for those pessimistic individuals who think it'll create over-population, you are welcome to die when you become 90 or 100. Besides, space is infinite. Using this teleportation technology, we can spread our existence throughout the galaxy and by that time, improved technology will enable us to live safely on other planets such as Mars. So there's no need to be concerned about over-population. As a matter of fact, at that time, we will be under-populated. Fact is human won't be contained on earth like a mice contained in a cage. I'll make sure of that.

Answer 2

It's possible, given that the average life expectancy was around 40 about 1000 years ago and it's almost doubled now, with the advance of technology and medicine, particularly genetics and non-technology, why should it be possible to extend the expectancy?

Currently the major problems are programmed cell senescence and cancer. Once these problems are overcome in someway (which are not an easy accomplishment I might add) I'd imagine the life expectancy will go upto maybe 150 at least, with a large percentage of that in a less aged body hopefully.

Answer 3

I think ya.Because with developing gene therapy technology ,one can repair the organs very easily.But on the other hand greed will also be developing and every human will be killed in atleast within a span of 20 years a world war will broke out and nuclear weapons wiil destruct the world and u c global warming and overpopulation will take the world to destruction

Answer 4

No but If they cut out a lot of the unhealthy stuff we have today and required exercise Could increase peoples life in the 100's. But I do not think people would want to live that long and all the problems that would come with the age they would deal with

Answer 5

Hopefully not. People procrastinate enough now. What would it be like if someone 25 figured he had about 475 years left? The fact that life is finite, and rather short as you'll see as you age, gives each day a special meaning that it would not have if life lengthened significantly.

Answer 6

With human genome and stem cellular technological expertise percolating, I assume maximum of genetic self-differences interior the close to destiny as to warrant a challenge approximately making valuable somebody keeps a baseline checklist of what we was. : )

Answer 7

Well if we can keep ourselves young for say, a century (with transgenetic therapies and nanotechnology) then there's every reason to suspect we'd be able to live indefinitely.

Whether its desirable with an already overpopulated planet is a very fair question.

Answer 8

I think it is possible. With nano technology, we will most likely be able to repair problems rapidly. i also believe we are not far off from being able to regrow organs. Between the two of those, its a matter of just keeping the brain working, and catching problems before they kill you.

Answer 9

According to the Bible, people used to live that long all the time. So of course that means the concept is ridiculous and could never really happen.

Answer 10

No the human body was not designed to last that long.
