with the advances made in science in the past decade, how could we not be 10 to 20 years away from being able to replace organs and skin to prolong life to 150-200 years? sounds crazy, but look at all the research being done by universities and some of the amazing things they coming up with.
Clinical Immortality?
It's been suggested that those under age 30 are very likely to live long enough to recieve benefits from the first set of publicly available longevity treatments. These treatments should be good enough to allow them to survive until the next set. In short, people who are under 30 right now might possibly live to be 1000.
Reply:Yea, but I'm not sure how unethical it is to not die. Mostly, it's something that people are afraid to throw money at. Report Abuse
Reply:Advances in science are being made, but science is a slow process, particularly medical science. and as the other person said, embryonic stem cell research is illegal. Finding a cure to death is difficult, as there are so many diseases that cause death. Not to mention, we have no idea what the human maximum life span is. I think the best estimates are 120 years. Meaning, even in perfect health, eventually you will probably die before you are 120. The main problem is that at that age, it's not just one organ that fails, it is all of them. Your body basically shuts down.
Reply:Some of it, is that certain kinds of research are not legal
