I like the reasoning that this thread has attracted. I am so happy to learn that most of those that have commented on this matter are very sharp and intelligent. Am so happy to be involved in such.

However, why would humans want to live forever? Why would you want to live up to 100 years? I believe that once i am no longer of any economic or social use, i should just die. to me, living byond 80-85 should be classified as a liability.

Please, humans are invisible to the naked eye.

The live body You see, can't be the human. It may try to instantiate a human. That's all.

It's not that humans just want to live forever.

The case is that they remember that they are eternal.

Not necessarily. Sometimes people bother you and others want you to exit so they can take your hard earned wealth. Also, with love and honest friendship, there's no bother. I personally don't think I'm a bother to anybody, I'm super self reliant and I do not allow people to be a bother to me. Actually, coming to think about it, I don't see people as a bother, just people who need a bit of uplifting and a boost once in a while.

Until fairly recently humans thought the golden age was in the past. there was no new knowledge - until we admitted ignorance and started trying to solve some of these problems. Simple thing like Lightning were once shrouded in mystery.. Mungu atakupiga radi...Thor the god of lightning! We kinda figured out this and now.. we do know how to arrest it. Poverty is another issue - Jesus himself once told his disciples that 'the poor you will always have with you'. slowly by slowly we are realizing that being poor is not a 'divine' problem...it's a technical problem - heck there are countries that really don't have 'poor' in the destitute state we had. people don't die of hunger as it used to be. Who says death is not a 'technical' problem? what if death is like many problems that were once seen as divine such as sterility and even gender selection before and are now 'technical' problems? what if in the next 100 years humans figure out how to live much longer than expected?
