We're getting closer and closer to it, and making advances in biomedical engineering all of the time. We're starting to see bionic limbs that people can move with their nerves, lab grown organs, simple nanomachines disguised as red blood cells that can administer cancer killing medicine directly to tumors, and even gene inhibition that can give us longevity, strength, and intelligence. The age of transhumanism is dawning, and if you're under the age of 60 there is a decent chance that you will be able to live forever. All of this coupled with neuroscience means we could very well see the world's first posthumans in a matter of decades.

Thoughts?


it's believed that the universe can only support life for another 35 billion years.

I read some interesting interviews by Stanley Kubrick and he seemed to believe in the possibility of biological immortality. I don't have faith in it, myself.

Too bad religion is a falsehood.....

Man COULD live forever in the somewhat near future, however I doubt we will want this to happen...


humans would live way better without all that false church thing

do you believe that when you die, things just go into nothingness?


nothing happens after ... but go pray to God to let you join Heaven.... pfff.... bullshit :P
live your life as you consider and dont think about on what will happen after, because nothing will happen ;)

Not by man's works...

Man will be cut-off soon.

Jesus Christ promised Eternal Life to anyone would call on his name.

Jesus said: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, but through Me."

"Whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

if we can harness the DNA of the tortoise we can live for a very long time. tortoises actually stop aging once they hit maturity, so that would mean you would stay around year 20 for the rest of your life till you die of medical conditions or an accident.

ISO proof of the existence of the soul.

edit: also a definition of what you think "the soul" even is.
