My friend and roommate is a neuroscience major, I'm a psychology major.

Crispr may help modify my body to be at least more durable to time until we figure out how to fix the geriatric damages

Well we also have to come to terms with the fact that immortality is ultimately undesirable, and I think anyone who lives long enough will eventually desire release from life.

I realize that

But I can just off myself

On my terms

Not because time is up

I think 100-200 years would be an optimal timespan for a human.

Perhaps

Or not

Will see

I have a reason to seek immortality

I assume anyone can find a reason to be immortal

I don't want to amass wealth or some stuff

I just want to watch

To see what people come up with

Progress

I get that, you want to see how it plays out

Yes

I always liked history

And I want to observe the now

And also help science for a long time

I might change my views

I am just 15.5

Young as hell

I had an almost exact desire that you had around that age, not like I am too much older, I'm 20.

Why did you lose it?

Or do you retain it

everyone as a teen wants immortality, after a while you realize that it sucks cause u will never age while everyone around you gets older

I didn't necessarily deny it so much as came to terms that I do not need to be conscious to participate in the future. As long as I leave an impact in the present there will be others who will perpetuate my presence in the future.

I have been through that @Pyro

not to mention that u can be tortured for all of eternity

I realised the problem of immortality when I understood that my parents would die

when I was like 10

People who yearn for immortality in life need not know about death.

Tolkien explains the flaw of immortality through his depiction of Elves. Their love for the world and their long lives eventually causes them too much grief and they have to escape from.

and in order for immortality to be enjoyed it has to be paired with a bunch of other traits

Quite a nice little proverb style comment from your boy huh

Lile eternal youth @Pyro

not eternal youth

shapeshifting
