What would you risk for a chance to live forever?
Immortal 16 January, 2008, 12:37 While watching a futuristic serial on another channel,one comes across a character 5 billion years in the future,on the day the earth DIED, pegged like a tent, and almost 2000 years old! The fact of the matter is, brain and brawn are like opposies sides to a coin. One without valid functioning of the other is utterly useless and brings more misery than joy, both to those that possess it and those around the possessor. Thus freezing the brain without corresponding advances in life sciences, will not prompt me to advance my case for IMMORTALITY. However if things change, who knows.?

Norman 16 January, 2008, 17:31 There are two elements to life, body and spirit. As a Christian I believe my spirit will live on. However, even the most well preserved bodies ( anything material) will decay. So I don't believe you can preserve a physical body forever. Ofcourse, you could always seek reincarnation.

Sanjay 18 January, 2008, 05:14 I think its a fairly useless topic RT has chosen. Compared to the appalling problems Russia is facing such as the demographic catastrophe and the acute health crises, such useless topics are being posted by I don;t know whom. Are the russian elites so heartless, cruel and nihilists that they do not care at all about the future of russian people. The miniscule amounts being spend on the national projects especially in the fields of health and education are shocking. During the 1990s when the energy prices were low and russia was in the hands of gangsters and anarchists, one could explain away the crises, but now when russia boasts third largest currency reserves and stable state, why is the death rate so appalling. Why is not enough being done to discuss and propose solutions to this most urgent problem by RT. Why cannot Al Gurnov and Lavalle and others discuss these problems in more details. Why don't they invite economists, church leaders, psychologists and well-wishers of Russia to find out how this problem can be dealth with in long term. I am not even sure whether my post will be posted but this is the most burning issue every russian and especially RT should be thinking about rather than decadent pop singers and other silly news. Does RT have the courage to publish its own criticism on its onw website. Are my words not honest? Do my words not look like they are coming from a well-wisher of Russian people. --------------- Dear Sanjay, You have asked several questions in your post, and we'll try to answer them in detail. 1) As you might have noticed, we cover all kinds of stories related both to Russia and Russian life and to current events worldwide. The stories we cover are sometimes very serious and sometimes more light-hearted. We really think our viewers and readers, who have many interests, expect us to tell all kinds of news. Our forum policy reflects it too. So no, we don't think this topic is useless. If you come up with a forum topic, please, suggest it. 2) The funny thing about demography is that changing the situation takes decades, which many tend to forget. You can't just launch a governmental project to make people have more babies and expect results in a year or two. [It's something many countries are struggling with] Also, we hope our dedicated viewers know that RT has focused on Russia's demographic problems more then once. We really don't avoid painful issues. 3) And finally, no, we are not afraid of broadcasting criticism of Russia, our Government, the FSB, Vladimir Putin, and anybody and anything else on our website. Especially now, when the whole department of sinister FSB agents in plainclothes are on leave - sorry, just kidding. What we don't allow are offensive comments to other readers, Russia, the Government etc. We hope this helps. With kind regards, RTTV website team

Sevodnya_Net 22 January, 2008, 09:51 Here's to RT keeping the light-hearted topics going! And I especially enjoyed the piece last night about the unfortunate Underground station "female entertainers" in London and Moscow. Both should have achievement awards! On the subject at hand I would risk a parachute jump: provided I'd negotiated the "live forever bit" in advance :-) There's nothing I'd give up tho' because that would be a LONG TIME to have to live without it!

ROBERT U.S. 23 January, 2008, 20:55 I don't think anyone would want to live forever or eternity. There to much tissure damage when freezing a body no matter how quickly. And there would be to much tissue damage thawing out the body. As for as death goes I figure I am as close to death every time I go to sleep.

Dog 18 April, 2008, 14:07 To live forever as a human. I'd risk nothing. To avoid the hum drum happy ever after I'd risk my life. Nothing more valuable. Even if I had it.

Nick 18 April, 2008, 14:45 i am christian so i believe that the world wont last forever. however even if it did, to live forever would be a hellish fate, and why anyone would want to is beyond me. think how repetitive things get when you live normally. now think how annoying it would be to have to do the basic things you do everyday for all eternity. sounds painful no?

Glenn 14 July, 2008, 20:04 Living Forever Not Just a Dream HAPPINESS on earth—it does not seem possible to enjoy it even for a short time. Sickness, aging, hunger, crime—to mention only a few problems—often make life miserable. So, you may say, to talk about living forever in paradise on earth is to close your eyes to the truth. You may feel that it is a waste of time to talk about it, that living forever is just a dream. No doubt most people would agree with you. So, then, why can we be so sure that you can live forever in paradise on earth? Why can we believe that everlasting life is not just a dream? We can believe because a Supreme Power, Almighty God, prepared the earth with everything needed to satisfy what we want. He made the earth just perfect for us! And he created man and woman in the best way for them to enjoy life to the full in this earthly home—forever.—Psalm 115:16. Scientists have long known about the human body’s power to renew itself. By wonderful means the body cells are either replaced or repaired, as the need may be. And it seems that this process of self-renewal should go on forever. But it does not, and this is something that scientists cannot explain. They still do not fully understand why people grow old. They say that, under right conditions, humans should be able to live forever.—Psalm 139:14. Yet, is it really God’s purpose that people live happily on earth forever? If it is, then everlasting life is not just a wish or a dream—it is sure to come! What does the Bible, the book that tells of God’s purposes, say about the matter? It calls God “the Former of the earth and the Maker of it,” and adds: “He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited.”—Isaiah 45:18.

Mikhail 25 May, 2009, 12:09 I agree with Sanjay that this is a useless topic. All living things have a life cycle - birth, a period of existence, death. During their period of existence humans should be working to improve life for the present generation and the generations to come. Unfortunately, those who are in control do not care about anyone but themselves in this generation, and could care even less what happens to the world after they end their own life cycle. - MIKHAIL

Ergatis 19 June, 2009, 16:33 Dear Sanjay, this topic is not so light as it appears. Because genetics science is near a solution. There will be two solutions: Age Reversal and actual Immortality. According to the first method, a 50 years old person enters the lab and leaves it ... 25 years old! The second method is more difficult and it permanently fixes your age. Both methods have to do with the way cells are divided. There are is an internal "division counter" in each cell. The first method resets the counter once while the second one continuously forbids the counter to decrease. Keep in mind that you can still fall ill or get killed... Soon volunteers will be needed for experiments and maybe that's why RT asks this question... SPY GAMES. Dear RT, do not take as joke the "sinister FSB agents in plainclothes". You don't know for certain if there is someone of them inside... You can only suppose that FSB has beter things to do than to spy on RT, but you can't be sure... Don't worry, they aren't so bad. They simply do their job...

rebelprole 8 February, 2011, 19:50 The only true saving grace of humanity is our mortality, we'd still be using stone tools and living in caves as the paradigms would never shift; ie there are still morons around who will not accept even such indisputables as evolution, which in it's elegance has in built obsolescence into spieces. As the world is now only the really rich could afford immortality and that would be the worlds biggest nightmare, imagine if you can the horror of the worlds elite living forever...  it's enough to make one feel like picking up the Barrat M1 and eliminating them just to be on the safe side.          And  as for conseratives being honest etc just look at the neo-con philosophy of running out idealists in preference of  " those that can be bought "  they'd much rather place the corruptable where they can do away with regulations allowing the corporate cleptocracy free reign to gamble, cheat, steal and lie their way to the top with the other scum.

To actually get the real picture of living for ever you would have to explore the possibility of it actually happening.. say someone has a genetic birth defect and his body regenerates its cells.. seems possible. That person if understanding what was happening to him correctly would live to watch his friends and family and then childeren and grandchilderen die. Growing old is such a natural part of life that if we noticed someone never growing old we would become jealous we would treat that person with contempt. The most likely senario would be that the person who could live forever would have to move every decade or so.... moving sucks having to move that many times would suck. It would be a very strange thing to have to be that way, however.... to live for ever till the point to watch the end of the world... who says we aren't...  Comet ELENIN is on her way.. Extinction Level Event Nibru In November..... kinda funny we have a comet that will be truley visable and yet... we don't hear about it... Good bye Cruel World
