you'd need a perfect replication system for your body cells to be immortal and that would also mean a perfect cancer (sorry for my kindergarten understanding of biology)
what
cancer is basically your cells going haywire, right
?
if they were able to replicate perfectly, but not perfectly enough for something to go wrong, wouldn't that cause the nastiest imaginable cancer?
no, biological immortality doesn't imply cancer, not at all
there are organisms that are biologically immortal and they don't really die of cancer
it's not that much about perfect replicating
ageing is a complex process but i.e one of the direct causes are telemeres(the ending part of DNA) getting shorter and shorter with every replication
telomeres are meant to protect the genetic material, but with age they slowly dissappear
there are organisms that can regenerate them
and you don't need everything to be done perfectly, sometimes there is a "mistake" but as long as you have strong repair mechanisms, your cells aren't worn down, your organism will handle that
fix the error or terminate the damaged cells
it's likely that every minute you have "cancers" appearing somewhere in your body but there are special lymphocytes called NK to get rid of them
so the most important thing is to maintain this self repair mechanism
geezus I am not going to read all of that
geezus was immortal tho
how did he revive from the dead if he is immortal
oh uh
check-mate christians
uh?
you kknow

old age needs to happen
people need to die
no
wrong
>stryker would rather age and die
what do you need death for
and aging
have fun trying to overright every single natural element in nature and society and not seeing some dystopia
at this point everything will lead to some brave new world dystopia
technology is cancer
>muh nature
humanity was defying nature since its dawn
thats our purpose
I am more worried that humans will keep reproducing when they become immortal
