What's with all the posts on this?

  What do you mean? It's a hugely important low cost high impact tech like 3d printers that doesn't get much attention. Why does that offend you?

    I think it is because everyone thinks they know where money is best spent for research. There are tons of highly beneficial areas out there that could do great things with more funds.

      That's the thing, it's not research. It's like 3d printers, there should be an ultrasound machine in every home. I'd like to see hackers work on it like they did with personal computers so the ultrasound revolution gets going. This is the crowd that can make it happen quickly (ultrasound revolution - daily cancer destruction, fat burning, localized noninvasive growth factor injections for heart/lung/brain regrowth)

        dlDaily cancer destruction is quackery. Even if ultrasound kills cancer cells selectively (which is very questionable), it also kills health cells. Health cells don't grow and thus the cancer quickly takes its place. Prolonged treatment causes a feedback scheme which quickly leaves cancer.

        It also offers the opportunity for precise delivery of medicine, so that you can get some growth factor there (like extracellular matrix pixie dust) and get tissue growth there as well. Calling it quackery is absurd, thousands of people have treated with it already and companies like GE are investing in it. You must be retarded.

Eventually you'll grow out of this fear of death. If you are so obsessed with focus ultrasound, invest in it yourself.

  I disagree, why will he eventually grow out of his fear of death? I think if the majority of the worlds population didn't believe in a god, afterlife, mother nature or something like the spirit world then we would have millions of people with a active fear of death. The only people that truly don't fear real death are atheists that have made peace with that fact. I am a atheist that has not out grown a fear of death, but I can't relate to anyone I know because they all say the same as you, "you will eventually out grow that fear", then I ask what if I am right and when we die we are forever gone and there is no afterlife? They say "Well that is unlikely, there is something else out there" So everyone I know doesn't fear death, because they think they will never truly die anyway. Like I said, the only people on earth that really do not fear death are a small amount of the atheist population that have come to accept death as inevitable. But what I think is that if all of humanity was atheist, we would be pouring billions in immortality research.

    Death is completely painless non-existence. Absolutely nothing to fear about it.
    - josephagoss 14y ago
      I guess its the fear of non-existence. Of course once we are dead its not a issue, but whilst we are alive its something on some of our minds. (not wanting the party to end)
      - georgeorwell 14y ago
        Yeah, fair enough, I've struggled with the same fear. I want to stay alive as long as possible too.
