Why not?
Aubrey de Grey says that
radical increases in human life expectancy will be possible within the next twenty to thirty years. “As medicine becomes more powerful”, he says, “we will inevitably be able to address ageing just as effectively as we address many diseases today. I think the first person to live to 1,000 might be 60 already.”
Much more in this piece by Paul Miller and James Wilsdon in openDemocracy.
(P.S. If you pooh pooh this idea, you’re a “deathist.” lol — who knew?)
I don’t think that I want to live for 1,000 years.
Maybe 100 or 200, but not 1,000.
I’ll be able to blog from my brain though by then.
Hopefully.
I think that the “Y-generation” will make it to the year 3000! :P
I’m not sure if I could do 1000 years either, Zinn. One thing: little kids would become a decided minority!
IB, we can call them the Y3K generation :-D
