BC-A, yes, they and younger folks will be able to know.Then it will be up to them to decide if they'll go for regeneration treatments or say 'no' to living so long.

Re: Re: Re: Very interesting ....
Dark Dreamer, the future is here, according to the medication robot you describe. Scary! - especially since le Brey's report includes medical intervention to stop the aging process. I hate to think of the mistakes that could be made.

Re: My first thought is No but I suppose if conditions were right, maybe..
Raye09, I think you've hit on one of the major problems of living so long - 'if conditions were right...'. It's doubtful that 'conditions' will be made right - ever - without divine intervention.

Re: Re: Very interesting ....
I totally agree with it not being a pretty picture. Our food, water, air and soil are contaminated to the point we are living in the 59th second of our last minute on earth - metaphorically speaking of course. An example at the hospital includes the medication robot that packages all the patient's medications according to their scanned ID number. These meds then arrive to each unit on a ring and placed in the nurse servers outside the patient's room. this medication robo pharmacist makes many errors which we (nurses) are responsible for catching. I do not have children and a very serious consideration for my decision is based on what they would have in terms of a future here - and their children's futures and so on .... I could speak on this at great length so I shall digress ...

Re: Very interesting ....
Dark Dreamer, medical interventions are required. I agree with you about Mother Earth. In addition, within the next 1,000 years, there may be robots doing ordinary work and other radical changes to life on Earth. ...not a pretty picture.

Re:
Justi, if the Lord has made it possible for scientists and the medical community to replace or restore obstacles to living 1,000 years, as this Englishman claims, I doubt that I'd want to go for it.

Not if interventions were required. If our lifespan, through time, added more years or decades well of course it would be something extraordinary. However, with all the destruction we humans cause to mother earth, it is not likely to ever occur without intrusive medical intervention.

No! Each generation in these last two hundreds of years have seen too much change from birth to death. I don't want to live one day longer than My Lord has planned for me. In my mind only he could bring about such but I don't know. I do know he projects life span as 120 years. That would be gracious plenty for me. Neat post.

Re: not unless you are all here...no not at all.
Kabu, good point! With friends and something to do, it could ward off the possibility of boredom. I'm still pondering the blog question. Maybe 'yes' if the world cleans up its mess.
