- pavel_lishin 3y agoI've talked to multiple people who want to live forever, at various stages of their lives. Our comments therefore cancel out. (Our of curiosity, the people you talked to - were they elderly, in failing bodies, with failing minds, seeing nothing in their personal future but slow and steady degradation? Might they think differently if their quality of life could be improved?)
- throwanem 3y agoI saw you palm that card. Not being able to die is just not being able to die. Rejuvenation is a different, and I suspect a considerably harder, problem.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoRE (): one also needs to filter out the religious folks who believe in some kind of an afterlife, as they likely expect that to be a better deal than anything humans can come up with on their own.
- DoctorOW 3y agoYes these people were particularly elderly, but immortality is not a cure for being elderly. It effectively exasperates the condition.
