The world would get pretty full after few generations. What do you want to do with 20 billion of 30-year olds? And with 50 billion? Or would you just kill everybody after certain age even if they are healthy?
We can't showel everybody to Mars/wherever in maybe next 500 years, if not more. A tiny base for few, with prison-like life isn't that attractive proposal either.
- sfj 7y agoNot to mention family reunions would get weird when you are biologically exactly the same age as your great grandfather.
- WalterBright 7y agoI doubt there will ever be mass migrations off-planet. A far more likely scenario would be a few colonists populate off-planet with their descendants. I wouldn't leave the Earth, as the Earth is a paradise. I was just out today, and the air smells sweet with the lowered pollution and the cherry blossoms out.
- babuskov 7y ago> Earth is a paradise That will surely change if everyone keeps living forever and you get 100 billion people on it.
- loco5niner 7y ago100 billion wouldn't be bad. We already have 7.53 billion and TONS of open spaces.
- fallingfrog 7y agoWell, for that exact reason immortality has to come with strings attached, in other words, you can have the eternal youth pill but you get your tubes tied. We would have to take population a bit more seriously and set a target of, say, 2 billion humans then implement policies that make the population tend towards that level.
