+OverSword Posted July 23, 2012 Author #101 Share Posted July 23, 2012 He's been reading Dracula.What a loada Moo Poo. If you read one of my earlier posts you will see a quite extensive list of scientists actively working on longevity/immortality. Many of these scientists are also employed as (for example) heads of departments at large universities and top researchers of pharmacological companies. They've already got a pretty good idea which protiens stop being produced which causes damage to DNA and aging. If they know that how far off can they be from finding a solution to that problem and making it so DNA continues to repair itself past 30? Those who can't see past thier genitals and just can't imagine immortals whos main preoccupation isn't reproductions really lack imagination and are probably in thier teens or twenties and are therefore handicapped by raging hormones.

Jack_of_Blades Posted July 24, 2012 #103 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm still waiting on the hover cars, wooly mammoth, and Mars colony we've been promised.... Seriously, not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green_dude777 Posted July 25, 2012 #104 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Jack of Blades, Not sure what exactly you're implying, but those things you mentioned are possible. The mammoth is in process, the hover car and Mars colony are not economically feasible. They're definitely possible though. Try this; think about the benefits of the hover cars and Mars colony, then compare those benefits to the projected costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazoo Posted July 26, 2012 #105 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I am worried what this would mean for society. The upper class would actually become genetically superior to the lower class. Which will lead to a new form of discrimination and well other things that would suck for the poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoIverine Posted July 26, 2012 #106 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Here's the real question, which would you choose, super powers, or immortality? Some super power sets also let you live for a very long time, Thor, Superman (Kryptonians in general), Wolverine, Silver Surfer, etc. Edited July 26, 2012 by Spid3rCyd3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sickpuppy Posted July 26, 2012 #107 Share Posted July 26, 2012 this is something i'm interested in.. i've read the whole thread up untill this african farmer thing, glossed over that bit, well, it's nice to see everyone seems to be maybe not on the same page, but at least in the same book... .. so about this immortality thing, grab your tinfoil and make a hat. go check out sofia smallstorm's presentation, "the dark agenda of synthetic biology" ..you can find it at youtube.. yep. youtube. DOWNLOAD IT.. because if you've spent a little time down the rabbit hole, you're probably going to want to watch it 3-4 times.. i'll come back to see what you all think..
