So it's only natural we cut the process short

This btw would not only stop aging but as cells start behaving properly again even in already old people would reverse some of the damage

No wrinkly skin, brittle bone, weaker muscle strength etc.

Of course even this wouldn't make someone immortal. There's certain chemicals the human body doesn't get rid of since they accumulate only in small quantities and ppl usually die before they become an issue

They become an issue if you live much longer than people do now

And nothing stops people from dying in a car crash or whatever

Given enough time anyone will die eventually

In the end I firmly believe immortality is a curse and goes against what we are and what made us great. Limited life span requires you to make effort and your time on this plane count. Without "end" there is simply stagnation.
That's just my opinion tho.

I actually think shorter lifespans are typical of more savage societies

Getting rid of old people in a humane manner would free up all sorts of ressources, allow us to retain some of our greatest minds and keep them working on things not just for decades but possibly centuries

It's not true immortality either way

Given a thousand years the chances of dying to an accident are actually pretty high

The downside with that I guess is that people would become (from our pov) irrationally risk averse

What would people do with their lives though

Work I guess

I assume what they do now

Kill themselves

Forever

The 180 year old Amazon wagie

I doubt people would kill themselves out of boredom

They are already doing it

If people lives longer that would probably make wealth inequality worse

There's so much stuff to learn and whatnot that you could pass well more than a millennium just reading stuff

@Mr. Nessel so much media to CONSOOM

Yeah sort of

all the shows you need to catch up on

Anyway this would also bring back Malthusian conditions

Old people actually commit suicide at a higher rate

Brainlets soon will be unable to earn enough to buy food

@EYEFORKNOWLEDGE156 Might be because their bodies are failing

Imagine a person obsessed with sports being unable to pursue it any longer

Being forced to sit in a retirement home

etc.

I don’t want to be on this rotating hell forever

You wouldn't be

Just look at the chance you have to die in a car crash every year you're alive

Then extrapolate

Unless you're highly risk averse eventually somethign will get you

I also doubt that most people who object now would refuse to die any give day

Even if they intend to eventually go from some philosophical abstract reason

I don’t want to live forever
