Millions living now will never die, due to SCIENCE!!! (page 2)

biogerontology really has a lot going for it in the next 20 years.

all hail Aubrey de Grey! LOL

Why would anyone want to live forever? not being jw, and the Mr. just really became, he truly cannot understand that I don't fear death at all. I could go in tonight, if I didn't have kids to worry about, wouldn't bother me a bit. But then, I believe in heaven. He just gets so upset by this. Then he accuses me of being a lier. Really though, no fear what so ever! I don't want science to keep my old body alive! I worked in a nursing home once. No thanks. Let me go. Unless I win the lottery or something, then you can stick in some cheap place and go have a good time on my bank account. That would be ok. carla

I agree, Carla, things would get boring to put it simply. Death isn't really scary to me either, and I don't even believe in heaven and all that, just see it as eternal peace and rest. And I don't want my old body with all it's defects be kept alive either. The point with this technology is that your body would not age beyond 30. Your mind would age though, and I think there would be the biggest problem/challenge.

But really this reality of "eternal" life will be here sooner or later, most probably not for us, but our kids' kids might have a good shot at it.

oh and SNG, I think the closest correct pronounciation of the name is somewhere between bass and boss (but then pronounced as short as you pronounce bus) , and I'm doing pretty good

M.J.

that would suck. I prefer the old Jewish paradigm. To quote a post from Leolaia, http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/85470/1.ashx

It should be stressed that in the OT death was viewed as a natural part of life, even welcomed at times as earned rest (cf. Job 3:13-22, Psalm 13:3), and occurs at its proper time (Job 5:26, Ecclesiastes 3:2, 7:17; cf. also Job 14:5, Psalm 139:16 in which the length of one's life is already predetermined) as the peaceful conclusion to a long life (cf. Genesis 15:15, 25:8; Judges 8:32; 1 Chronicles 29:28).

Ever see the old Star Trek episode where the inhabitants of this planet eradicated disease and death? It was such a living, overcrowded hell they were desperately searching for disease carriers like the crew of the enterprise to re-introduce death to the planet. It just comes to mind.

Doubtfully Yours

Let's not kid ourselves. Millions now living will die just the same as other millions have in passed times.

Therefore, and be .

We have a serious IPR-problem. About 1 000 000 patents worldwide are dealing with genetic or stem cell or other microbiological therapies, that monopolize the rights on anti-aging technologies into the hands of few global players.

So, if only ONE of the 1 million patents would be indeed helpful to stop and/or reverse aging, you cannot get this therapy because you never get enough money to pay the horrible expensive therapy (think, the monopolist will earn much money and increase his income and push the price of his stocks endlessly high - the company will certainly not think at the destiny of the mankind !!!) -- and besides, the entire research and development activities on this particular medicin-technologie will size down. At the same moment, when the communities of research instituts (or universities) get knowledge of an important patent in a particular application, the research efforts in this sphere will stop. They are anxious to have to pay licence-fees.

If you do not believe what I wrote, please take a look to some insider-reports at the internet.

hey erich, I'm sure your right, and I'm sure it will require alot of paperwork to make it all work with those patents. But on the other hand, your computer is full of patented stuff too, and still you were able to buy for not that much money...

Hi Bas.

That`s right. But there is a enormous difference between IT-patents and those in live- sphere, pharmaceutics, biotech and so on.

Electronics- or computer-patents (software-pats should be forbidden, anyway !) are very difficult to protect. Semantics and speech are often too weak to define the "claims" in appropriate way, and so, there are often suits on nullifications. Most of the e-patents are worthless anyway.

But in the live & biotech-branches patent claims can be described very exactly and distinctive. Thats the reason why global players dealing with anti-aging products can yield a high income and a sustainable profit based on their patent rights. Thats the difference.

I`m specialist in IPR since more than 15 years and I know what I say
