  • Anti-ageing is controversial - living forever at the extreme is considered by most people to be socially, emotionally and environmentally undesirable. So what is a "suitable" life expectancy, given that it increases every year. Thanks for all these interesting comments folks. Looking forward to continuing the great debate here.

  • hes a pompus prick

  • Let's see..Ocean colonization? Google " Seasteading "..and the " Millennial Project ". Over population isn't a problem, it's the mismanagement of resources. When you have a larger pool of educated people, more scientists, more intelligence, that will have a profound effect on scientific progress. Imagine, Edison, Einstein, Planck, Bohr, Fermi, Crick, Watson, Goddard, Von Braun..All of these great minds and many more, still making contributions to science today?

  • Aging will be cured at some point. It could be as soon as this decade, and it won't be longer than 100 years. It will be cured.

    If we were focused on it, it would happen quickly.

    Worrying about population is foolish. Sit around any grandparent's reunion and they'll be surrounding by dozens of grandkids. They are very very small part of their family's population. Making them young again will make the world better, not worse.

  • i think we should be able to live forever and have an infinite number of children.

    i mean what could POSSIBLY go wrong :)

  • the world needs the old to die off to leave room for the young otherwise the world would get very overcrowded very fast. its natures way of clearing space for the young.

  • I wonder what God done to limit the human age to around about 120 years max after the floods?

  • yes longevity risk is a massive issue for people who retire... they soon realize that they live too long and will run out of their pension money
