Since we're on the cusp of biological immortality, with human trials currently underway and set to be available commercially by 2020, it raises ethical questions.

Would you take it?
Do you want to never grow old, never eventually dieing of natural old age, age related illnesses or cancer.

Absolutely. You could still die of other causes so it's not like you'll live until the heat death of the universe or something like that (at least not yet). There's literally no downside with this.

Yeesh. Sounds fun.

I don't think that's how it works unless you manage to catch brain damage on your way to eternity.

Eventually we all will.

Maybe it will be given out in an ethical manner, like if some kid is dying from cancer, and the cure is ready/available/existing then I don't think the public would stand by and not allow someone who really needs it.

It's like withholding someone's diabetes medicine or letting someone starve.

>>35840018
Yep, I'm not saying you can't die, but you're biologically immortal, you won't age

But the longer you live, the higher you chance of death, via murder or just an everyday accident.

I could totally see governments banning it because muh overpopulation. And they'd probably have popular backing too.
>>
If you gave a person this NAD+ and enclosed them in a safe environment away from accidental death and give them food and necessities to survive, how long do you suppose someone could live for?
>>
>>35840194
Probably until they develop cancer.

I think only virgins (like me haha) should be allowed it.

You can't have immortals producing and producing endlessly. And what's to stop people having kids first, then becoming immortal? And then their kids having kids, then becoming immortal and so on...

It has to go to people who either can't have kids, or don't already have kids. I imagine there would be some kind of mandatory castration to ensure it.

I don't think cancer cells could develop if the NAD+ keeps perfectly restoring your DNA.
>>
>>35840273
>I think only people like me should benefit from X
Hopefully you never get elected for anything.

>>35840303
Because kids don't get cancer? I'm not, like, a biologist, but ageing and cancer seem to be different processes.
>>
>>35840349
Why? Should immortal people be allowed to breed as much as they want then?

Or am I just not allowed it?

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
