Immortality is quite impossible. You can extend the life of humans indefinitely but you can't make them true immortals. This is from a guy who is 447 years old.
If I got to choose I would say no. All the energy in the Earth would take only maybe 7 large 2000 person ships. That means at the end of the World and people left behind would drift in space FOREVER.
Regularly repairing damage so that one effectively stopped aging wouldn't keep a person from still contracting deadly diseases and certainly not prevent deadly accidents or murder. There would still be death in this world from all the same things that have always caused it, minus aging. But it would change and draw out the pace of life. There's a line from the 'Red Mars' trilogy. "When you expect to live another 200 years you behave very differently then when you expect to live only 20".
Theres a theory that hydrogen atoms in the universe will completely decay within the next 100 billion years and possibly all other atoms, of course all suns and planets will be gone by then, but i'm saying there is a point where even if you can live without planets and stars you might still have a really bad day where all your atoms explode.
The only percievable way around that would be to escape the actual universe and go to another one (if another one exists) somehow.
I agree not to start a war with with, sadly now you need to make that understood with the rest of the world. Pointless fight. I mean, what would be more pointless,stupid and idiotic then starting a war that makes people die over the issue of whether people should die or not!
Also, I plan on jumping of your "Death" train as I"m the generation that will get to see the rise of immortality happen.
The Idea of not existing after "Death" does not sound very appealing to me.
If immortality was made possible, the most propable thing to happen would be a huge war , people with the idea against people who would oppose and think we would be playing god.
If we were immortal then degenerative brain diseases would impact hugely on our humanity. Yes we can in theory replace brain tissue but at a cost: The wiring of our neurons is specific to our experiences, and altering this by adding healthier tissue wipes our past memories. Even if we stored our experiences on a 'supercomputer' they wouldn't carry the same emotional impact. So we have to decide: Immortality or Humanity?
There is one main problem.with sustaining life, and thats telomerase. Eventually, our cells stop dividing despite the condition our organs are in. so until there is a way to extend the length of this enzyme, immortality is an impossibility
People have figured out the space issue: cities underground as well as a city within a giant, space efficiant building. No kidding, they even have the emergency problems figured out.
did you now that jelly fish don't age and they found a jelly that was 10`000 years old the gov knows how to make humans immortal buy implanting jelly fish cells in humans but they reserve it for the big dudes in the gov
Also, scientists are starting to believe that the brain can never be modified enough to live forever. Yes you can get a new brain, but you would be a different person. Scientists also believe if your brain might have a "killswitch" that if were to be enabled would deactivate your body functioning. In a nutshell it's impossible without your brain being replaced, but than you wouldn't be in your original body.
It might be possible to become immortal through science, but that doesn't mean that we couln't die. If you were to even live 200 years with science modifying your organs you would eventually get into an accident that will kill you. Immortality does NOT mean you CAN'T die!
@GlassCPU if we can reverse engineer the brain - we can 'save' our mind - upload it to a cloud. The body breaks; grow/make a new one and install your memories.
@homelesshobitt Everything is mortal. Nothing in this world of ours is immortal.
Immortality is word that denotes a being that has been living for a very long period of time. Let's say you have a person that lived hundreds of years. That person how ever is not immortal he just lived a long time.
If ever we all became immortal, and yes i am referencing a moment in torchwood, after the massive addition to the population and the demand for resources, it would take around 4-5 months until resources can't be manufactured quickly enough, the industry would become overwhelmed, and we'd have to fight for resources like animals, the world would be FUCKED.
I don't think immortallity is right and if you are any type of christan you youtubers would agree with because you get the best thing that will ever happen to you. You will meet god and get hang out and stuff idk maybe party a little :)
I think your brother is completely right , it was my first thought too. The idea in your head that you will one day die changes all your way to live.You won't feel the need to go to school in your early years, or to university, or making friends, or absolutly every other activity that you now fell as a necesity.
Also literature and philosophie would loose a lot of value because they are based on the idea that you will one day die.
To solve the space issue they would probably put a restriction in reproducing.
But being immortal, scientists not dieing and constantly gaining knowledge. Never ending breakthroughs. Imagine if Einstein was immortal. We would be in the space age right now

Immortality is Hell. You go crazy, you'll get lonley, and there's the threat of a disaster minus the relef of death. Who would want be pinned under a building for untold ages? What if they said "screw it" and bult over on top of you? You can feel horrable pain without the sweet release of death. That would be awful.
I would love to be immortal for the same reasons as you! I think however, there should be an option of death for those who become immortal in the future. I don't know if it would be considered suicide. Perhaps.
I think your mind would degrade at some point. You would just go mad. I don't think your brain can really process that much information for that long.
they already have organs made from a little piece of tissue. theres a hospital in texas i believe for military personal. and there they experiment on many handicaps. so yeah. i was watching a show last night on a spanish channel
About the motivator part, I dont think this is true. We are motivated by our instincts. we would probably still want to have sex, marry explore do science etc. we would not become suddenly slow thinking creatures. Our lives would be packed with as much intense stuff as it is now, but then you would just have a very much longer life ;)
Most people will probably not want to be immortal.
And more, If people will become ''immortal' They would be thinking over much greater time-spans meaning they want their society to survive. meaning those people will treat the earth good, will mean they will try and do more good. Because their actions now will have loooong repercursions. Also meaning they will want to think about how to maintain such a society, and genuienly try to build a sort of utopia.
They have already made organs, I have seen a lung and heart made from cells growing. And they work. The heart beats by itself and the lung breaths my itself. It's now on a show called NovaNow: Can We Live Forever?
1. We would strip the world of its resources in effort to sustain ourselves, ending up in no forests whatsoever, no animals, and possibly little water.
2. We would probably go insane from over population- and us earth and animal lovers, would want to die. If it is a possibility, I hope everyone disagrees and the topic disappears.
3. And about moving to another planet that was sustainable, we have already exhausted earth.
1 You imply that everybody would magicaly become immortal. No they would not
2 The same technology that will (probably) allow us to live a loooong time, will mean we will have a whole lot more capabilities. We WILL be able to deal with the problem of exhausted resources
Also about the information in our brains being transfered into a super computer so we can be immortal or w/e what if that was hacked or something? or what if someone hacked the nano bots in someones body?
I think i would want to live forever i want to live until the end of the human race or the end of everything if possible i want to live long enough to be 100% certain how we came to exist and to be 100% certain if there is a god or not and how the universe came to be or if its always been there how it could just always be there.As for the over population thing yeah thats one thing that scares me about it
:0 you have canada geese in the US.... did you steal them?
and in all seriousness, I don't think I'd want to be immortal. I am a Christian and yes, I believe in Heaven. The prospect of living in this world forever isn't something that appeals to me, at all. There's ugly things in this world. I don't want to endure it here. Sure, I'd try to improve, but human nature is still there. We will always be doing something wrong. I wanna grow old and live with the one I love, then die doing what I love
I think if thhey did find a way for people to be immortal they would have to set up laws like you have to do X days of work a year to stay immortal because if we didn't do that society would stop functioning and that way you could die when you feel you've done and seen everything you want to. Living for more than 300 years or so would just be torture because you would have done everything of intrest to yourself and life would just become pointless.
If I had the option I would live AT MOST 60 more years after the life expectancy. Living for ever would be too much. However the possibility to live my human life with a body of youth is much more inviting. To the see the next 60 years without cancer or heart disease would be my choice over immortality.
Worst idea ever. Power hungry evil people, being immortal and giving birth to other power hungry evil people who would... you know. The idea of immortality really scares me.
Immortality would be terrible from a biological standpoint. Everything dies. We're already fucking up the earth and we die. So to not die our population would seemingly spiral out of control.
Dan, you're not talking about immortality, you're talking about greatly increasing the life expectancy of a person. No matter how many resources we have, we will run out. Immortality means forever, it seems obvious but people don't get it. Forever means never ending. You're not talking about immortality by my understanding, you're talking about increasing the life expectancy.
I think that if we develop to a point were we can choose to immortality it would only be available to the people with power and not only that but we would have to get fixed to not have any kids so we don't over populate . But we will eventually over populate and run out of resources and be forced to expand to space
Anybody who has any belief in religion probably will be scared over this. What he was saying about nano bots downloading your brain into a computer or whatever... If that's possible, then what is your soul? But then again... If there was an exact clone of yourself, would you be 1 person with 2 bodies? Or does your ghost make your 1 body an individual that only your ghost can control... ..... Is there even an afterlife? Or do you just die and your brain and body shut down forever... Everything w
Then ask Morgan Freeman for a rock-hammer and tunnel your way out of a wall behind a giant poster of Rita Hayworth while secretly stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the prison warden and making yourself a false identity.
I think that if we invent a way to be able to live forever we will also leave an option for people to step out. I would most surely extend my lifetime a couple of centuries. Especially if i can live with good quality health. Their are still plenty of things i want to do.
Did anyone ever read Interview With The Vampire. The vampires there are virtually immortal, and in the story it's very common place to eventually decide to end your existence after living for such long periods of time. Interesting read, and this was an interesting video.
Personally, the idea of immortality scares me. It may be partially because of my religious backing, but it really seems terrifying. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a bad idea for some people. I just never want it to happen to me. In my idea of religion, I will already be immortal. Why would I want to be immortal in this human/material body, when I could be immortal in heaven? I would still be surrounded by the people I love, just without the material constraints of mortal life.
MA=ay i point out the profit side to this immortality business. What company would ever sell something they could only sell to someone once? and then what, youre copy-writed material bub. and you think other companies wont try to find the "secret ingredient"? whatever it is that you're "living" through, whether it be your body+meds, a computer, or a robot body, will be worth 9000 times its weight in gold.
we might need more school some time, for example, some people who are very old THESE days, dont remember alot of things from school, mostly math...and spelling, so maybe every 100 years we might need to go to school again, most ppl think this is stupid, because school kinda sucks, but it could be of use, and what about getting sick millions of time in your "life"
being immortal is like living as a video game character. no matter how many times they die they always come back. and as we all know playing too much of the same game gets very very boring. no immortality for me
I think that's like revisiting the good vs. evil debate. I don't think you could really enjoy your life to its fullest with the expectation that you'd have forever to live it.
I don't believe that becoming immortal (if the opportunity arose) would be morally wrong, I feel that people can do as they wish with their lives. There may be certain benefits to becoming immortal, however I would only take this route if my friends did as well as the girl I love :)
If anyone wants eternal life/immortality all they have to do is chose Jesus Christ. This is the only possible way. There is nothing man can do to be immortal of himself - no way at all.
@ktfreak4jesus lol...1. just look in the guinness books, thats all the proof i need...and im pretty sure (even though im non-religious but w/e thats not important) that this "god(s)" *for different religions* never said that '120' was the max.. that just doesnt make sense logically as well
Check out Soylent Green as a science fiction answer to the questions of over population and not wanting to live forever. If people really believe that man is the center of the Universe.... we have the entire universe to exploit in the future and over population really isn't a serious problem at all.
hey dan what would you do if you found out you died the day before imortality was invented and you found out heaven existed would you be angry or happy
Ugh, I don't know if I really like this video haha. We can't sustain ourselves on earth now, humans are selfish and stupid. There's absolutely no way in hell we need to fill the earth with people, ruin nature, and urbanize more. .. Urbanizing would ruin shit completely. The environment is in crisis now and we have a horrible way of living as it is, having people live forever would be completely stupid, useless and destructive to the PLANET. And we wouldn't be here without the EARTH.
"imagine the world became so filled with people we would be unable to sustain ourselves." ... people really need to wake up. we are not CURRENTLY sustaining ourselves. at all.
I mean sometimes it takes people to have a near-death experience to wake up or become more cations about their actions, so what will happen if you take that away? Some rules are meant to be broken or bent, but certain one shouldn't be tempered with, especially the laws of existence or what makes humans hu-main.
Death is a reason why people take risks, mature, and better themselves as time goes on. When you speak of immortality, I think of that one quote my mother always tells me, "You only get one life, some take advantage of every moment". If immortality is brought into the picture, certain morals could be broken and thus never teaching children to mature as they get older. Why should they? Death will never come so why should they leave from their mistakes, If death's no longer a consequence.
@LikeSoTotallyRandom Pshh yeah you get sick of life right now because almost every 17 and 18 year old has a really dramatic life and or is really dramatic...
maybe if we could just make it so we dont die coz off age or illnes, but still could still b killed... so u could live for ever if u lived a safe life surly that b better tho i heard that the population off earth is already over croweded and we need to half the population we stand any chance tho ppl are forever saying crazy things so im not sure if the last part was to scare ppl
you'd run out of things to learn :\ and get bored, you'd also feel uninterested in other people intellectually because you'd feel you've learned and seen everything :\ i guess
but id still like to be immortal, to reach the pinnacle of knowledge and then let it crush me, or just teach it until i go insane like some really old kindergarten teacher thingy, and kill all the children cos they are so dumb :L
i think if we could be immortal i wouldnt take it because it could screw you up......it would be cool to the other tech. in the future............but it would be brutal in war if the enemy got of hold of it...........
What if you want to be Immortal but your wife/husband/children dont? You love your family very much and you'd want to be with them, right? If you cant die and they are dead, it would be almost like living in Hell. The only reason I would want to be immortal would be because there might be stuff I didnt get to do before my time was up.
A another question popping into my head when thinking of immortality and old people speaking of being tired. Are they tired of life as of right now, weak knees etc. or have they just worn out their "experience" quota? Im thinking maybe we're just not build for more than a small century mind wise. As of now we still only have a tiny little bit if not no knowledge of our phsycological structure.
I think it would depend on how the immortality would manifest itself. My grandma is in her nineties - she can't leave the house by herself and is very slow moving around. To live like this forever would be hell. However for me to live forever, I'm 23, with my current level of heath would be fine because I'm relatively fit and healthy. I don't think their would be no death if we achieved immortality. The elves in LOTR are immortal but can still die.
@TheDrPhil100 ** You could say the sun comes up every morning. But you can't prove it. You can just say you have never known it to happen that the sun did not come up in the morning. In the same way you can't prove things always fall down when they are released at 2 meters above earth's surface. You can only say that they have always done so in your experiment. Of course we don't say that everytime, it's okay to say "this proves that", as long as you realize that it's never 100% certain.
@Hellybot Said the immortal boy with no ability of empathy who murdered any members in his band who started growing up and who promptly forgets people ever existed shortly after they die.
It's not that I don't somewhat agree, but as much as I love that book Peter Pan is not a go-to guy for life advice.
Immortality means living forever, I hope people realize it means never dying. Not trying to be redundant, but I honestly think that a lot of people do not get that. Nothing good can last forever. And anyone who would try to become immortal... Well, good luck when the sun dies. ;)
try to image a world were you could not die and by some chance you where the only one with this ability.. if you had a 100% chance of not dyeing, whether it be getting hit by lightning or getting sucked into a black hole you could not die. this would suck........... my guess is that after 10,000 years you would lose all emotion. you would have seen people die, you would have had love plenty of times. and i personally unless i knew i could die would not want to be immortal.
immortality would never happen on the physical scale, because there wouldn't be any need for God or fear of what happens after we die. Most people would probably chose not to live forever, because who wants to see the falls and global mistakes of man over and over again, and not only that, but if you get stuck living with a relative you don't like, you have to deal with them for all eternity? If any one would chose it, our society might end up crashing because we would run out of purpose
I'll do work next century, lol. On a more serious note however, I dont think we would be that lazy if we achieved immortality, although it depends on what you mean by immortality. They way I saw it would be you wouldn't die from old age but you could still die if you got shot in the brain or starved to death. So you would still need to work to pay rent and eat food every day. If we didn't need to eat to live some would be lazy and some would want money, it would equilibrate.
What would be the point of living if you could live forever? I think the end of life, the end of us, the end of our memory compel us to move forward as a population and as a civilization. I would not want to live forever. I want to trust the children I have, the next generation enough to hand it to them, totally and completely, like my parents will eventually do for me.

@TheDrPhil100 ** But that's not really important actually :P It still is a good thing men like him died and made way for new people, as I've said before. Actually if he hadn't died the way he did, Christianity might have never become a new/big religion. So the impact of death is quite large, in some cases even much larger than the impact of the person when he was alive.
@TheDrPhil100 * Concerning Jesus, I actually believe he was more of a freedom fighter, kind of the Che Guevara of his days ;) I've read about this point of view in an article on philosophy and the truth about the man known as Jesus Christ. Apparently at one point in the Bible Jesus even tells his apostles to pick up their swords and fight the Romans. So that's what I think he was: a wise man who tried to lead his people out of the (violent?) reign of the Romans, later glorified as son of God. **
With that said we cannot be immortal at least by science. We are as mortal as the tree and the dog. Although we fear death and grasp onto life, we must all accept that death is a part of all our lives and welcome it with open arms.
Now for some fantasy...
As for me if I had the chance to be immortal
I would decline
I just believe that I have a duty, as a living being, to die.
Be buried and turned to dirt.
So that life can continue on.
Maybe life itself is already immortal in that way?
If science believes it can make a man immortal, it is nothing more than another religion. Technology and medicine didn't make us live longer. Food, clean water, and good shelter is what made us live longer. Science didn't bring about this technological advancement. Capital and labor is what made it all happen. Science always existed as a method for people to try to understand the world we live in using what we have. It is not the miraculous answer to everything that we are taught now.
@TheDrPhil100 ** Curiosity about their personalities is good, but wanting to talk to them is a bit like living in the past and it doesn't do justice to all the great minds that are alive on earth today.
As I said: we would never have made it this far already if older minds hadn't passed away and been replaced by new, fresh ones.
Beautiful minds are always welcome, and I enjoy seeing them at work. You should check out TED.com if you feel the same way.
Immortality is quite impossible. You can extend the life of humans indefinitely but you can't make them true immortals. This is from a guy who is 447 years old.

Most people will probably not want to be immortal.
And more, If people will become ''immortal' They would be thinking over much greater time-spans meaning they want their society to survive. meaning those people will treat the earth good, will mean they will try and do more good. Because their actions now will have loooong repercursions. Also meaning they will want to think about how to maintain such a society, and genuienly try to build a sort of utopia.

Immortality, would destroy earth.
1. We would strip the world of its resources in effort to sustain ourselves, ending up in no forests whatsoever, no animals, and possibly little water.
2. We would probably go insane from over population- and us earth and animal lovers, would want to die. If it is a possibility, I hope everyone disagrees and the topic disappears.
3. And about moving to another planet that was sustainable, we have already exhausted earth.

Dan, you're not talking about immortality, you're talking about greatly increasing the life expectancy of a person. No matter how many resources we have, we will run out.

You're not talking about immortality by my understanding, you're talking about increasing the life expectancy.

Personally, the idea of immortality scares me. It may be partially because of my religious backing, but it really seems terrifying. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a bad idea for some people. I just never want it to happen to me. In my idea of religion, I will already be immortal. Why would I want to be immortal in this human/material body, when I could be immortal in heaven? I would still be surrounded by the people I love, just without the material constraints of mortal life.

Death is a reason why people take risks, mature, and better themselves as time goes on. When you speak of immortality, I think of that one quote my mother always tells me, "You only get one life, some take advantage of every moment". If immortality is brought into the picture, certain morals could be broken and thus never teaching children to mature as they get older. Why should they? Death will never come so why should they leave from their mistakes, If death's no longer a consequence.

A another question popping into my head when thinking of immortality and old people speaking of being tired. Are they tired of life as of right now, weak knees etc. or have they just worn out their "experience" quota? Im thinking maybe we're just not build for more than a small century mind wise. As of now we still only have a tiny little bit if not no knowledge of our phsycological structure.

I think it would depend on how the immortality would manifest itself. My grandma is in her nineties - she can't leave the house by herself and is very slow moving around. To live like this forever would be hell. However for me to live forever, I'm 23, with my current level of heath would be fine because I'm relatively fit and healthy. I don't think their would be no death if we achieved immortality. The elves in LOTR are immortal but can still die.

Of course we don't say that everytime, it's okay to say "this proves that", as long as you realize that it's never 100% certain.

immortality would never happen on the physical scale, because there wouldn't be any need for God or fear of what happens after we die. Most people would probably chose not to live forever, because who wants to see the falls and global mistakes of man over and over again, and not only that, but if you get stuck living with a relative you don't like, you have to deal with them for all eternity? If any one would chose it, our society might end up crashing because we would run out of purpose

They way I saw it would be you wouldn't die from old age but you could still die if you got shot in the brain or starved to death. So you would still need to work to pay rent and eat food every day. If we didn't need to eat to live some would be lazy and some would want money, it would equilibrate.

So that's what I think he was: a wise man who tried to lead his people out of the (violent?) reign of the Romans, later glorified as son of God. **

With that said we cannot be immortal at least by science. We are as mortal as the tree and the dog. Although we fear death and grasp onto life, we must all accept that death is a part of all our lives and welcome it with open arms.
Now for some fantasy...
As for me if I had the chance to be immortal
I would decline
I just believe that I have a duty, as a living being, to die.
Be buried and turned to dirt.
So that life can continue on.

If science believes it can make a man immortal, it is nothing more than another religion. Technology and medicine didn't make us live longer. Food, clean water, and good shelter is what made us live longer. Science didn't bring about this technological advancement. Capital and labor is what made it all happen. Science always existed as a method for people to try to understand the world we live in using what we have. It is not the miraculous answer to everything that we are taught now.
