It’s always tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes.

[cripplecreek]

Dammit. If I wanted to live forever, I sure as hell would have wanted to be younger than 65 forever.

[Jeff Head]

So, he thinks he’s going to die at 81?

[rdl6989]

Man plans, God laughs.

[Brilliant]

Assuming Obama doesn’t pull your plug, that is.

[Man50D]

That’s one way to avoid government run health care.

[Ann Archy]

What an IMBECILE.

Within 25 years we will be able to do an Olympic sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath, or go scuba-diving for four hours without oxygen.

Sure, it's all fun and games until someone plants a virus in the nanobots.

[Twotone]

Considering how often computers breakdown & malfunction, what’s going to keep all those nanobots working properly?

[Lancey Howard]

Congress can then raise the eligibility age for social security and medicare to, oh, 1 million.

Immortality only 20 years away says scientist

As much as I'd enjoy not having to worry about aging or death, it's not terribly realistic. And it's not beneficial to the individual or to the planet.

I hope I have enough time to come to better terms with it. But death does really scare me, despite my own spiritual beliefs.

[brytlea]

I thought it said “immorality” and I thought...sheesh that’s already here!

[Little Ray]

Sure. Right. Immediately after we get the fusion power plants working.

Besides, who would we really want to make immortal? Can you think of anybody?

[catfish1957]

Hey its already been done. Look at Helen Thomas.

[Mr. Blonde]

From the “[stuff] my dad says” Twitter: “Why the **** would I want to live to 100? I’m 73 and s***’s starting to get boring. By the way, there’s no money left when I go, just fyi.”

[PallMal]

Scientist Ray Kurzweil claims humans could become immortal in as little as 20 years' time through nanotechnology and an increased understanding of how the body works

Even if this were true, people will still die -- murder, plane crashes, auto accidents, execution, fire, falling off cliffs, ...

So there is really no such thing is "immortality".

TTAGGG bump

[Billthedrill]

I’m contemplating an eternity deef, limp, and wrinkled. Tell me again why this is a good thing?

[Ramius]

While this is a wildly optimistic take on things... I think he’s probably not far from right. It’s not hard to believe that in coming decades there will be an explosion of new capabilities in various bio-medical technologies. There already has been some pretty impressive stuff, and it should do nothing but accelerate.

Live forever... probably not. But lots of things that kill people and age them today probably won’t sometime not too far in the future.

[missnry]

The 84th president of the US will be overjoyed at the press pool!
