Then we need more wars for a life sink as anti-aging will produce a faucet of new people the earth cant sustain.

Then those who want to live for a very long time should be exiled onto the frontiers of our system to help build mankind a new future rather than sit in a chair and play video games all day.

No, all we need is to realise our kind needs to look further and colonise space if we don't want to finish like dinosaurs.

If you could live forever, statistically you'd one day fall into a hole that you can't get out of.

Meh, I haz wealthy family. I can afford to space but I'm just so apathetic to flying I'd rather not waste money on it.

Unless we get to jettison op in which case I pay extra Big smile

If you freeze yourself your tissue will be damaged by Potassium-40 decay without the ability to repair itself. P

Doesn't flash freezing fix the tissue damage issue? In theory at least?

Without sacrifice, there is no progression.

I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies. I maim toddlers and teens and then more.

Futurama has it right, the only way to live forever is to have your head put in a jar.

Cryogenics has it's problems, flash freezing causes water in the cells to crystallise and expand causing damage to the cell walls.

There have however been instances where the human brain has survived far longer than it should be able to when deprived of oxygen, an example would be the people who get pulled from frozen lakes and revived without harm after several times the oxygen starvation limit for brain damage (3 minutes IIRC).

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

We just need scorpion DNA. They can survive being frozen and thawed. Genetic manipulation to turn on that piece of DNA in our body and we're good to go.

The scorpion DNA would take over and we'd all end up looking like the scorpion king.
