The risk is too great. To give humanity immortality at this immature age would be like giving a cave man a fully functional nuclear bomb. No matter how useful nuclear power is to us in this day and age. Imagine if King Henry VIII had somehow figured out immortality. Do you think humanity would be better of today, some 500 years later, with him still sticking around and laying claim to the place? Pretty unlikely, right? Equally, what right do you or anyone else living in this time have to steal the future from the generations that are to come? They will look back at this time and wonder about our ignorance, intolerance, and small-scale thinking. And fortunately both you and I will be long dead so as to not embarrass ourselves too much with our primitive ways of thinking.
