Physicists out here chasing wind and Biology gets all the hate. Why isn't everyone biologically engineering themselves to live forever?

That is my goal, I'm majoring in chem and specializing in something else later. I'm pretty sure I'm barely smart enough to finish a PhD, but the problem is whether I'll actually do anything that matters in the long run. Doesn't hurt to try though.
Anybody have the same endgoals as me? Want to talk about it? What are you doing OP?

Im not going to school my whole life lol. The rest is proprietary.

>Studies biology
>Thinks human immortality is a good idea
>>8533225
dude just go to school lmao

It's not a question of whether I think human immortality is good, its a question of whether I think *me* immortality is good, which I do, because I will never get to be anyone else but myself.

Im getting my undergraduate but Im not feeling the PHD
Because one of the few things bringing any comfort in this world is knowing that we all are going to die eventually.

Biology is the GOD tier in term of difficulty : there are no easy equations to help you, no easy modelisations to help you.

I'm doing a different study, but to answer your question.
Because we currently don't have the technology (getting there), and don't have a full understanding of the human body (we are getting there).
To be honest I support >>8533223, >>8533230, >>8533261
and think people with that ambition to be good people who shouldn't give up on such a dream until the day they die, because who knows they might succeed and keep people around for hundred-thousand-unknown amount of years with their loved ones instead dead in the ground doing nothing, in oblivion.
Biology is the most pathetic science to study. Yeah I understand someone has to do it, but I'm talking about you and your choices. You can learn any ad-hoc biology info you need to know\ via wikipedia. You don't need a sequential build-up of courses to understand something like you would in physics and math. It's perfect for brainlets.

You are an idiot. When working with biological systems you need to have a core understanding of the processes at hand. Im not talking about "lmao DNA makes RNA xD" baby talk, im talking about very specific metabolic processes which are interacting with a whole other range of substrates. Even if you know how a certain chemical is formed, the way it fits into the workings of a cell requires a lot of logical insight and previously obtainedd knowledge that can only be obtained by years of stydying.
