Thanks for coming around.
I am sure that the technological development towards your last described effects will probably no longer be experienced by myself in all its effects. I'm thinking more of future generations and my son.
Exactly; well, except a form of immortality is achieved before then, and you can extend your life indefinitely to witness all these technological advancements first-hand.
I'm a proponent of emerging technologies by the way; and from my opinion, technology is still in its infancy and we would experience further advancements geometrically.
Imagine how some few years from now would be in the tech world... we can only imagine that.
Ah, ... well. Then my question to you would be:
Why do you want to be immortal?
Maybe not really immortal, but to be able to reverse the effects of senescence. Who wouldn't want that ability?
Maybe it would give us more time to figure out how to solve the world's problem.. People would now know they would stick around for a while, so they wouldn't want to mess up Mother Earth
What would be the ideal lifespan?
Lol.. Well, the point is; it should be placed into our hands the ability to determine how long we would live. But that's my opinion though :D
