Do You Think Humans Will Be Immortal in 2045?

But they said there will be an 'aging curing' type thing 10-15 years from now.

Possibly though I sure hope not. I wouldn't want to be around to see that.

Nope. Don't think so

Maybe the rich will be able to afford eternal youth (like in certain bad sci-fi movies). Everyone? Far from it.

I don't really think humans will ever be immortal.

I sure f***ing hope not.

no, i mean, people have been dying at younger ages, i mean you get a certificate for reachiing 100, soon it's gonna be like 50 and if scientists can do something to make us immortal then are they gonna do it to every person in the world??

probably unless we are frozen

That would be the worst thing to do. Never mind the fact that our minds can't handle that.

No. In 2045 we will all be dead from the nuclear fallout

Gods forbid. Where would we put everyone if they never died? The only way I see immortality for everyone as a good idea is if we've already started colonizing other planets.

We will never truly be immortal. Either really difficult to kill, have really long life spans, or both.

We dont even have hover cars yet, and that idea was out before Star Wars.

It's not an outrageous thought.

not even in 5402

Some doctors were saying earlier in the year that the first person to reach 1,000 years has been already been born.

Define Immortal

Maybe when they start with the head transplants - who knows.

I have a bet on it in Las Vegas.

there never will be imortality, we all must die i be glad to say

imortality in this world would be horribe id rather die than be imortal at least when i die ill be able to be imortal in the next world in the summerland are far beter place than here

I don't want to predict the future. I just want to live every day, not look and see what could happen.

Only a starry eyed kid that could be sucked in by a catchy phrase like ''yes we can'' would come up with such crap.
On the off chance that I'm wrong, say good bye to SS and Medicare.

Hope not

Well he's optimistic and she's...how old? Anyway, yeah VERY optimistic, we'll be lucky to see enough technology to replace the human body entirely by 2160 let alone 2045. I've done my own studies on this and I was being optimistic then. It's true that there's been a rapid growth in technology, however the growth that we would need to see would be more than $4,000,000,000,000,000 invested in it world wide.

There's also the limitation of the human brain, we don't know nearly enough about it. We know for a fact that we don't know enough about it to be able to remove and replace parts. (We've barely got a short term solution to a short term memory problem). Let alone transferring an unidentified personality out. It's nice to dream though.

The most promising research comes from Aubrey De Gray that has shown some progress in extending life. Not in humans yet, but they're working up to that. That research is proving rather useful in other means never mind immortality so it's not entirely a dead end.

Teee heeee.... oh the Singularity: Religion for Atheists.

Only self replicating machines might become
imortal and that may be stretching it !

Humans, I believe, are spiritual beings and as such, we are immortal, now and forever. However, I think your question has to do with the human body and not the spiritual being 'housed' in that body. It is conceivable that with modern-day war, that human bodies will be wiped off the planet. But aside from that possibility - having a human body endure forever is just not the natural progression of things. It is certainly conceivable that at some point in the future, there will be some scientific endeavor that will result in preserving the human body forever. However, I don't think it will happen as soon as 2045.

I do not think so.

Sure why not?

There is no such thing as "immortality".

Human Ego.

No they will have long ago been replaced by Robots!

We're already immortal. Spiritually speaking.

i bet there is barely a chance anything in the future would change when my mom was a kid she always thought by now it would be flying cars it didn't happen! only thing that will change is the internet and cell phones and stuff like that

I hope not, I'm one of the few people who do not want to live forever....
The world and people are getting worse every day, I will not live long enough to see the world end ... I hope

God, I hope not !! I would HATE to have to work forever !! That or you would need to be rich in order to survive. Instead of trying for longevity why not work towards quality ?

We are not designed for immortality.

You can't prevent your body and brain from aging. We aren't made that way.

I think our souls are immortal, but never our bodies. If we lived forever, the world would be overpopulated, there would be restrictions on having children. Maybe after a while there would be no children or babies, and everyone would be the same age, and all have fitted parts and machinery and upgrades etc to all look the same, act the same, think the same, live the same life... One thing would lead to another. I think everyone would just end up killing themselves anyway.
