Thats what I'm hoping for anon.
Imma study the shit out of bio in uni. Gotta make Monsume real man.

>Will living forever be attainable in our lifetime?
most likely not, but you never know, scientific progress is notoriously difficult to predict

>Will Biology be the future "engieneer" degree?
no

It will certainly expand as a field even more and more jobs will be available as new fields in genetics pop up, but not even close to engineering. Engineers are needed in every aspect of society, while biology fills a specialised niche in the sciences, albeit a gigantic niche.
>>
>>8303640
>Will living forever be attainable in our lifetime?
Maybe not. Just stay optimistic until the day you die because it could happen with time.

>Will biology be the future "engineer" degree?
Will snail races beat chicken fights?

not in any of our lifetimes or ever for that matter.

It doesnt seem like there is a large demand for immortality.

Just maybe an extra 30 years if the state of our 60 year olds is the age of those 80-90 year olds.

I never understood why this is

Have you ever seen someone in there 90s? Most people don't want to spend an extra century in a nursing home slowly losing their mind.

Slowing aging is where the money is. If we could make a 50 year old look and feel like a 25 year old, THEN we would start to see demand.

>If we could make a 50 year old look and feel like a 25 year old, THEN we would start to see demand

but that is the gist of most research on lifespan extension, isn't it?
>>
>>8305591
Mainly.

I remember reading an article 3 years ago where they altered the cells in mice with telomerase extension.

The end result was the age was reversed, but the mice gained cancers and tumors. Makes you think.
>>
>>8303640

Better that every life form go extinct than that a single individual should succeed to live an arbitrarily long lifespan, without end.
>>
>>8303640

Maybe, the other thing you can do is to get rich as possible now so that if it does become available you will be at the front of the line

>>8303640
There is only one way.
Chaos Theory.
>>
>>8305624
So you can live a normal lifespan, or live longer, with the risk of a shorter life by cancer death?
>>
who the fuck thought human gene manipulation was a good thing? i'd rather die of cancer than live in a world where the rich get even richer. this procedure is going to be expensive and those who don't have money for it will birth comparatively dumb and weak children. and what's stopping china from creating genetically enhanced soldiers?
>>
>>8306072
Well the cancer was caused by them modifying the telomarese and mitochondria of the mice. Not too mention it was simply a test, any real reverse aging would not give you cancer unless the doctor fucked up.

Short and HIGHLY simplified answer behind SO MUCH theory and practice is no.
Why? Because the self doesn't exist.
>>
I'll be real pissed if they find a way after I die
>>
>>8306542
you won't be pissed, you'll be fucking dead

better get on that cardio and good diet lad

I know those feels Anon.

So how long until designer babies are a thing? I don't want to have kids the regular way (>implying) just for them to get outclassed by babies born a few years later.
>>
>>8306775
14 years?

>>8303640
Holy shit do any of you faggots actually have a degree in science or something related?

Calico. Look it up. Google owns it.

>>8306775
It's already possible. We have to wait for CRISPR error rate to go down and for our understanding of human genes to be complete. This may take anytime between 5 - 30 years
>>
>>8306797
There are at least two Physics dudes here with a PhD.

>>8303640
What you are looking for is "actuarial escape velocity".

>>8303640
Probably in the next 100-200 years.

Yea it was obviously fake, she's a pornstar dude. But pretty sure she was just smacking her lips not chewing gum yo

Would you want to live 1000 years in a typical 100 year old body... or have Alzheimers for 9000 years? Do you think the human body joints were designed for 2000 years of wear and tear?
The human body goes down hill after 30... not too many men get turned on by an 90 year old woman.
>>
>>8309356
the whole point is to rejuvenate your body and keep a perpetual 20/30 biological age
>>
>>8306542
So you now should do your best to not die. Not an easy thing. But if you dont wanna die ever, better try not to die with your current body until someone finds a way to lenghen your lifespan.
>>
>>8303640
idk man. How strong are you?
>>
>>8309356
I rather live 1000 years with a 100 year old body than be dead in the ground and cease to exist you faggot.

Wow, so they closed down the "Trump vs Hitler" containment thread, huh?
>>
My guess is that they might discover extreme longevity in our lifetimes, but you will have to be engineered to live long, so us normies won't be able to benefit.
