i kind of oppose the aging cure..I mean look how over-populated the Earth is...do we really need people that can just reproduce and not die?..

dying is the ultimate equalizer and without death we can reproduce at explosive rates..

@PhillipThunderGrunge Even with the manipulation people would still die eventually, but with it they would probably not feel as rushed to reproduce as quickly so the birth rate would probably slow down to even it out. If they turned off the aging gene completely then people would never get beyond the baby stage and would therefore never be able to reproduce physically. If people really got to that point though we probably would have discovered ways to get resources from and live on other planets

@PhillipThunderGrunge true thats why we have to make our buildings 100 times taller than lets say the twins towers RIP. Anyways if we can do that and invent flying cars then we will have like 100,000 people living in the same building. Kinda like the fifth element if you ever seen that movie.

Interesting documentary, however they completely dissmissed the topic of a continuation of evolution of humankind into or solely based on computers/technology. Or in other words, perhaps we soon will have to compete with machines that equal all our skills or surpass them by far.

@stickybelvedere: Fully agree.

@PhillipThunderGrunge well, the thing is, this technology will most likely be used in developed countries, where birth rate is extremely low... look for example Spain, has the lowest birth rates anywhere with about .9 kids per family, and is one of the wealthiest nations... their native population is expected to actually drop... this will most likely become a problem in the future, human depopulation due to low birth rates.

the future looks bright with science.
