Immortality only 20 years away says scientist

[FuManChu]

Scientist Ray Kurzweil claims humans could become immortal in as little as 20 years' time through nanotechnology and an increased understanding of how the body works.

If you have money, good family, and love life, why not? I love every day that I have. Always a good time. Specially if I can stay this age or close to it. Now I wouldn't want to live forever being 90 years old and can barely move. That would just suck.

I have some fears of immortality, lets say you live thru an alien invasion in the future, or some other type of tragedy etc.
take the movie X-men origins wolverine,...

world already is over populated... the dumb keep reproducing. fortunately the dumb wouldnt have acess to this technology so not much would change.

 

[SerbMarko]

I don't want to be immortal, but if you can keep me around in good shape for 1,000 years or so I'd be down.

If I had the technology, of course my family would have it too.

Anyways, everything is possible. If you can live for 100 years naturally, who is to say you can't live for 200 years? With the right technology, you could keep rebuilding your body (like it does itself naturally) and keep it going. I have a feeling I wouldn't want to live much past my natural life with the way the world is going but it would be possible.

In a perfect world, it would be awesome but if there were 10 billion Chinese because of this technology and 10 billion Indians, that right there would be a reason not to want it. Hell, even if it made it that we had only a billion US citizens I wouldn't want it. I hate that there are so many people now as it is.
