Thats it folks, Google has finally solved immortality! They are just not telling the public since they don't want the world population to spike above 10 billion.
>They are just not telling the public since they don't want the world population to spike above 10 billion. Golly how responsible of them, putting ethics above money-making. You don't see that kind of charitable attitude very often from megacorps these days.

I don't get people who say "I don't want to live forever."
If I could healthily live forever, I would totally do it in a heartbeat. All those fags saying otherwise are just trying to be poetic about death.

Just another news about an age old topic. They were trying to solve this for hundreds of years and billionaires spend lots of money, but eventually they died. Why do American women age like milk then? Anglos are the most bad aging group on planet.

People need a conclusion to the ark of their life. Death is a release. Society would break down if a significant portion of the population were medically immortal. Imagine being stuck at the same wage cuck job for ten centuries. 300 year mortgages? 150 year student loan debt?
Nuh uh. People want to eventually shrivel up and fall asleep forever.

>I don't get people who say "I don't want to live forever."
They are the same people who say that they absolutely need a job to be happy. They just don't know what to do with their time and the prospect of potentially unlimited time frightens them.
I sure as fuck know I'd be entertained for quite a while. I have to ditch hobbies I actually still enjoy every now and then just because I picked up new ones that I like even more and my day sadly only has 24 hours.
Also, by the time you'd be done with experiencing everything you enjoy (so a couple centuries) you'd already have centuries worth of new things to try out.
And if you really don't wanna life anymore, just pull the plug.
Michael Ross
yes i recently read somewhere that alzheimers for example isn't caused by protein plaques in brain cells. something prevents brain cells from using glucose so your brain just stops working. whoever experimented with this solved the problem by making patients go on a ketogenic diet because somehow the brain is fine with ketones instead of glucose
increasing lifespan by just 30 years would already cause a rapid advancement in technology. how old are scientists nowadays when they actually know enough in all the required fields to do real work? 40? then they work for 20 years and have to retire. what a waste
Josiah Baker
Considering we are talking about anti-aging, it wouldn't be true immortality anyway, rather just not dying from old age.
>do nothing all day out of fear of accidentally dying. Quite a stupid argument since people are already afraid of dying nowadays and yet still do dangerous things, even needlessly dangerous ones.
I'm always fairly certain that the stories depicting immortality as a purely negative thing are heavily influenced by sour grapes. They knew that death within a century at most was inevitable for them, so they tried to come up with reasons why having a life longer than that is totally not a good thing anyway.
>jews will get to live forever while goyim get to keep dying for greater israel truly the future is a wonderful place
Hudson Richardson
Predicting scientific advancement past the next 3-4 years is very difficult. Technically we already know most of the problems that would have to be solved (at least for the current knowledge level we have about how these things work), the next step is to find ways to solve them without any severe side effects.
And personally I think the biggest factor in how fast we'll get that stuff figured out are the legal hurdles that have to be taken. Developing a new drug for example is not all that time intensive. Takes ~2 years. Getting it through all the studies takes multiple times that amount and consumes huge amounts of money because of how tight security measures are. Any failure at all if basically a death sentence for your drug. You could find something that cures Alzheimer, if it also kills ~10% of the patients in the process that project is dead.

"I don't want to live forever" just means "I want to live as long as I want and then stop living when i'm ready to die", which is exactly what you're saying.

How do we know this isn't another bunch of overvalued whack-a-loon bullshit like the juicer?
I take peptides currently, that's probably the closest we have not to actual anti ageing shit...not that I take them for that, but it's a nice side effect I guess.
Ryder Morgan
These people mean it in the context of not prolonging their natural life though. I know multiple people who oppose any kind of rejuvenation related research with that exact argument. You can point out that it wouldn't be literally forever, but that doesn't change anything about their stance on it.
Jaxson Rodriguez
>the stories depicting immortality as a purely negative thing are heavily influenced by sour grapes
This, it is sour grapes and religious cuckery to the maximum extent.
Fuck that, give me a thousand years. Human civilization would evolve so much if intelligent people could pursue science and politics for centuries.
