I slept with my foot crammed in between my bed and wall and now 4 days later it's still killing me when I don't put pressure on it.☹️
Getting old is lame. Come on scientists figure out immortality please i beg you.
In every immortality canon, you have to give something up. My theory is that we'll extend life as far as our bodies will let us, but our minds will go.
Maybe we’ll gain the ability to upload our brains to a computer. But then the downside is, if the computer dies so do you.
Defragmented mind file. Impossible to repair that file. Better hope there's no bit corruption now.
In your scenario, I invision that we lose our humanity.
The most realistic scenario is probably giving up money
Judging by the price of insulin versus the cost of making it, immortality would be very unevenly distributed.
Soon please
