SENS isn't about death. It's about undoing aging. For as long as I am alive, I'd rather stay as young and healthy as possible. Wouldn't you?

- bowsamic 4y agoNo not really
- denton-scratch 4y agoHow can you "stay young", if you are in fact old? Youth isn't just a question of fitness and years. Youth pulls in recklessness, a belief in your own immortality, an uncertainty about who you are or what you're for, and a diminished awareness of the past (because you've experienced less of it). There's no medical treatment or fitness regime that will give those things back to you. If you even want them; the loss of those things, or at least some of them, might be considered wisdom.
- snvzz 4y ago>How can you "stay young", if you are in fact old? Old would be redefined. Once SENS succeeds, we can easily have 100 year old people with bodies no worse than a 20 year old, both in appearance and function.
- shrimp_emoji 4y agoI'd literally like to be the Man From Earth. Not because I terribly fear death or think I'm important/worthy enough to suck oxygen indefinitely but because I figure it'd be fun. I wanna see the singularity, Mars bases, etc. D:
