RE: Transhumanism, maintenance and the end of death

in #philosophy8 years ago

Transhumanism is an interesting topic. I do believe extending our lives can be a beautiful thing aslong as our surroundings are made for it aswell. Right now I wouldn't want to become the age of 200 if I would have to work till my 150th ^^ As for immortality, I doubt it to ever be possible, and something one wouldn't want to achieve. Atleast not by human standards. Because we might already be immortal by our spiritual selves (if one tends to belief that).

Sort:  

Once we achieve immortality the way we work would be very different. Most likely we would work in one career for a certain period of time then we would take a break kinda like a short retirement and then possibly go to college again and do a totally different career and so on and so forth. When it comes to the likelihood of achieving immortality i'm pretty sure we have a VERY good chance and likely even in the not too distant future. You should check out some of the current research going on in gerontology. I also suggest that you check out my article on the subject here:
