Would living forever be a good thing?
An article from 2019
According to scientist Dr. Ian Pearson, immortality may be achieved by as early as 2050… For some of us.
Pearson expects we’ll see the beginnings of immortality within the next few decades, but (initially, at least) it will be far too expensive for the masses:
“By 2050, it will only really be for the rich and famous. Most people on middle-class incomes and reasonable working-class incomes can probably afford this in the 2060s. So anyone 90 or under by 2060. If you were born sometime in 1970 onwards, that would make you 48 this year, so anybody under 50 has got a good chance of it, and anyone under 40 almost definitely will have access to this.”
If we all lived forever then procreation would need to cease. Otherwise man would starve to death because feeding an ever growing population would be impossible.
Genetically altered to survive on solar energy?
You can keep that!!
That is assuming one does not get run over by a Bus
Other vehicles are available.
Or wander into the ‘Bronx’ by mistake…
As the saying goes “if they found the fountain of youth. I wouldn’t drink a drop. And that’s the truth.”

Reker and Wong define personal meaning as the “cognizance of order, coherence and purpose in one’s existence, the pursuit and attainment of worthwhile goals, and an accompanying sense of fulfillment” (p. 221). In 2016, Martela and Steger defined meaning as coherence, purpose, and significance.
Upon birth, one owes a death, nothing last forever.
It always upsets Dr Who when his young companions grow old and die so it has it’s drawbacks.
I believe we just rent a body to interface with the world around us, but sooner or later, we have to give it back…Or we just wear it out…
