I always had a sneaking suspicion that immortality -> no sex drive. I mean, living forever obviates the need to reproduce, right? Sex only feels good because we wouldn't do it otherwise, and it's kind of necessary that we do it.

Interesting - the boomers have always been on a self-improvement path - cosmetic surgery, invitro - a host of other selfish goals.

Aging is part of life - it is an assessment time where we can finally "get it" and it should be embraced as such in order to put down for history our findings. Not to run from the natural process, but try to stay as healthy as we can so our minds can impart the wisdom to those who will listen.

Do not get me wrong - I am all for improved life - but ad infinitum? No way. I am not certain I want to see that far ahead because I think we have made a bit of a mess of this planet and hope some who follow will concentrate on finding solutions to the problems we have created. Not just selfish goals like immortality.

One other concern - overpopulation. It is almost mandated that some of us die so make room for the young. Even if the young are less than plentiful - do not forget those civilizations and societies who are making huge numbers of their own.
