kind of an old concept sort of thing.. but

stupid:

Why would anyone want to live forever?

Maybe he's afraid of dying.

the human body cant live past 160 years. The cells will stop dividing and repairing eachother. So you will basically turn to dust. Living forever is a cool idea but is just kinda pointless.

the human body was never ment to live for 150 yrs. let alone forever.

Well, if people would actually read the acticles when their posted:

[quote:e048b]Kurzweil writes of millions of blood cell-sized robots, which he calls "nanobots," that will keep us forever young by swarming through the body, repairing bones, muscles, arteries and brain cells. Improvements to our genetic coding will be downloaded from the Internet. We won't even need a heart.[/quote:e048b]

Kinda dumb if you thnk about it. If people started living forever the world would be so populated we wouldnt have room or resources for everyone.

saw him on the sceensavers a while ago

... which is one of the basic problems that would have to be dealt with, should
these nanobots be introduced to humankind.

Ressource consumption, increasing lack of space and dangerous religious
opposition makes this nearly impossible to welcome with open arms. Don't
think for a second that our most elite members won't find a way of having
it done: this will certainly help the "leaders" see their plans through...

itd be cool to live like a few hundred years longer as long as this immortality thing keeps you from aging too....but i rather die at 80 then live forever like a dried up grape.[/code]

lol this is a joke, kurzweil is the name of the doctor from x-files

Wow, if people lived forever, then the world would become grossly overpopulated, even moreso than it already is, and resources would die instantly. Stop being a little bitch and let someone else live.

lving forever would suck...why would you want to be an old man with barely any energy for a lifetime...maybe if you could be like youngish and choose the day you wish to die or something.

Obviously you could just throw yourself in front of traffic if you didn't wanna live any more... If you could walk.

you could roll yourself into traffic
