Name some of the possible ways for life extension that might arise in the FUTURE.?
Q. scientific answers please. Like changing DNA
Asked by Nameless - Tue Mar 13 18:18:12 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Surely medicine won't let us down. But I think we can expect to see advancements in new foods and new ways of processing the existing foods. Just think of what has already happened. Less salt,sugar,flour,red meats,fried food,stress etc. More exercise,vegetables,clean er air and water,meditation etc. Who knows, we will probably discover that something as simple as bathing in salt/sea water will extend our lives or maybe those annoying shocks, when we shuffle across a rug then touch a door knob, will be found to rejuvenate the cells in our bodies. Wish I were going to be around to find out.

Is it moral to extend life?
Q. If technological developments lead to the eventual ability to extend our lives well beyond what we have now, would you be for it or against it. Lets take out environmental concerns, as this would be during an era where technology has provided a means to not stress the eco system, and also provide the means to sustain a large population. Also take out the aging factor. Would you take part in such a life extension? Would you seek it mandatory for people to partake in technology (such as how we now have outlawed assisted suicide) Lastly, would you actively try to deny people such a life extension?
Asked by Cryst Liberal - Tue Sep 29 12:51:17 2009 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think you're mixing up moral and ethical. Anyways, I would partake of course. But it would be unethical to force others to extend their lives. As it would be unethical to force them not to take it.

A. Such therapies, to a very limited extent, are available now but they can't extend your lifespan a real lot. In the distant future they will probably be able to extend our lifespan by a lot more.

Transhumanism and life extension?
Q. am a transhumanist, meaning I advocate using medical technology to extend the human lifespan long enough to see SERIOUS technological developments, which may even bring about indefinite lifespans. Whenever I mention this, I'm met with instant opposition from most people, who say things such as "it's not natural", "its not meant to be" or "we're suppose to die." To me, those arguments make very very very little sense, and really result from a lack of thinking. What does "natural" mean ,exactly? The way things are? Hospitals and medicine aren't natural, yet we use them everyday. The earth formed randomly, as did life. Our life and death cycles aren't following some unseen higher power of nature or any law of "meant to be"... it just happened… [cont.]

Q. What are the six major theories of indefinite life extension?
Asked by Mountain Wilderness - Sat May 9 05:21:46 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I will list six concepts by which it is suggested that humans might achieve immortality: (1) Telomerase. Scientists believe that boosting the amount or proportion of a naturally forming enzyme, telomerase, in the body could prevent cells from dying and so may ultimately lead to extended, healthier, lifespans. Telomerase is a protein that helps maintain the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. Researchers at the Spanish National Cancer Centre (Madrid) tested the hypothesis on mice, finding that mice genetically engineered to produce ten times the normal levels of telomerase lived 50% longer than normal mice. (2) Transhumanism. Technological immortality is the prospect for much longer life spans made possible by scientific… [cont.]

radical life extension?
Q. I had this idea for a technology that could provide potential lifespans,of,well, millions of years, without requiring bodies at all, and actually have quite alot in relation to your work. If the brain is simply a transmatter and receptor of electromagnetic pusles via the central nervous system, how hard would it be to stimulate the brain with currents? Recreate the very same types of signals found in "real life"..and feed it to the brain for interpretation. The feeding process can be via some program of software that creates some sort of artficial technology...(who knows, maye in 50-100 year we may even have matrix like technology) Ideally, Way dowwn the road in the future, we could find some means to connect al of these brains into a… [cont.]
Asked by John Porrison - Sun Sep 6 12:52:47 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1. There's probably not enough money in the world to fund this kind of project. 2. The technology needed for all this probably won't exist for another 300+ years. 3. The most sophisticated micro processors and super computers only have a small fraction of the computing power contained within a single brain cell. Don't get me wrong, it does sound slightly plausible. But it still sounds like science fiction. Maybe in a few centuries it could be closer to fact than fiction. Until then, keep up your research.

A. God is not opposed to science. God created us with the ability to reason and invent, and put us in the universe to explore and learn. It would be denying God for us to deny ourselves the opportunity to explore the universe scientifically and find ways to benefit and improve our lives from what we learn. (IMHO)

Life Extension: What is the most promising field of study?
Q. ***I DON'T CARE about your or your religion's stance on the morality of such sciences*** That said, I'm curious as to what you think will vastly extend human lifespan first. Cloning? Stem cells? This transhumanist scifi stuff? Also, in how many years do you think this technology will be used? Thanks in advance, everyone! =))
Asked by Hi, Daddy! - Wed Jun 11 13:30:24 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. All of the promising technologies will become available gradually in stages. The goal for those who want to live dramatically longer lives is to take advantage of each new advance as it comes along. For right now, that primarily means nutrition and exercise. One technology, or set of technologies, that I find extremely promising is SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence). The idea here is to stop focusing so much on the causes of aging, and instead, focus on repairing the celluar-level damage caused by aging.

Q. what is the average life extension of having a stint implanted?
Asked by spoiled22339 - Thu Dec 10 20:05:55 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Average life expectancy after insertion of cardiac stent depends on: A) The heart condition that necessitated the stent. B) Age C) General health of the patient. 1) If done in a young person with no history of heart attack(but only found a block on routine exam.), who has an otherwise strong heart, the person can live long comfortably. 2) On the other hand, if an elderly patient who has had severe heart condition besides multiple diseases such as diabetes undergoes stent implantation, the out look will be not as good. But, even in category 2, angioplasty with stent is worth the trouble because it not only adds years to his life but also adds life to his years.

Life extension science, also known as anti-aging medicine, experimental gerontology, and biomedical gerontology, is the study of slowing down or reversing the processes of aging to extend both the maximum and average lifespan. Some researchers in this area, and "life extensionists" or "longevists" (who wish to achieve longer lives for themselves), believe that future breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation with stem cells, molecular repair, and organ replacement (such as with artificial organs or xenotransplantations) will eventually enable humans to have indefinite lifespans (agerasia) through complete rejuvenation to a healthy youthful condition.
