In relation to a few hundred years ago, we live a long time. Our quality of living has increased dramatically, and science and technology are evolving at an ever increasing rate, meaning new medicines, drugs, and equipment are being produced that can aid our growing desire to live even longer.

We can now 3D print body parts, there’s been a head transplant, even Ray Kurzweil believes we’ll have the chance to live forever within our lifetime. Nonetheless, there are concerns about both the ethics behind this idea, and whether or not it’s actually possible. For example, some believe that evolution has already made our bodies as good as they can be, and aging is an irreversible product we can’t escape. H+ Magazine wants to dispel these ideas:

“Everything degrades over time–it’s basic physics”

This is just wrong, but it’s so prevalent (among gerontologists and the great unwashed masses alike) that I’ll refute it yet again:  There is no physical necessity for aging.  Analogies to wearing out and to chemical corrosion are flawed and misguided.  The body may accumulate more damage than it repairs; but it may also repair more damage than it accumulates.  The choice is made by the metabolism (as programmed by evolution), not by physics.

While many people dislike the idea of intervening with nature, it becomes easier if you think of it as giving it a helping hand. I for one welcome this new age of anti aging technology, how about you? Check out the full article for more great news about the extension of our lives.
