humans to live to 1000 years?

If you want to cure infectious diseases you must be wanting for people to stay alive. If so, why should everyone have to be tortured to death by the disease cause aging? Why should infectious diseases be more important than non-infectious diseases (cancer, diabetes, atherosclerosis, aging, etc.)? "Aging is an accumulation of damage to macromolecules, cells, tissues and organs" is the best description of what aging is on a molecular level. To "cure" aging, molecular medicine must be able to cure all of these forms of damage. I believe that SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) is the best technology for addressing these problems. Unfortunately, although I believe the general approach is correct, much more research will be required to discover and implement the required molecular repair technologies.

Future technologies may offer much more in terms of options and added years of youthful, healthful life. I am hopeful that rejuvenation technology will be available within my life, so that I will not age. Then my main risk of death would be accidents and murder. Rejuvenation will not protect you from accidents and murder.

I doubt that people could live forever, but there is reason to believe that humans could live hundreds or thousands of years longer than they are living now ("natural human ages"). If all diseases were cured (including aging) and war was eliminated, then the causes of death would be accident, suicide or murder. In the United States in 2006 accidents were responsible for 5.0% of deaths, suicide for 1.4% and homicide for 0.8%. Assuming that you were determined to live forever, suicide could be ruled-out as a cause of death. I have heard it said that if only accidents and homicide were causes of death, that a person might be expected to live over a thousand years. (Dividing 80 years by 0.06 gives 1,333 years, but that may not be a mathematically valid operation.)

As a backup, in case rejuvenation technology is not available in my lifetime, I have made arrangements to be cryonically preserved. That way, I can be preserved until medical science not only achieves rejuvenation and cures for all diseases, but the ability to repair cryopreservation damage. (Hopefully, I would be vitrified, and there would be no freezing damage). Cryonics has been called an "ambulance to future medicine", although it may not work if future nanomedicine (or other medicine) is not able to cure all diseases, reverse damage due to dying, and reverse damage due to cryopreservation.

this is ridiculous. Why anyone with a brain actually think this?? firstly, that is not natural. in the article it comments about the avg. lifespan being more dependent on accidents than old age... there is this thing called the cycle of life and part of it is aging. people once predicted that we would be living on the moon by now too, but that didn't happen.

If the bible says it, i've got faith it. the international has replaced dramatically on the grounds that that factor and so have we as human beings. i've got faith that with God "all issues are achieveable". i don't totally comprehend the way it got here to pass, notwithstanding, i don't comprehend many stuff of God. I nevertheless have faith that he's the Almighty and that the bible is His Holy observe. i don't think of that God might enable His observe to be corrupted by potential of any source, for this reason, i don't think of that the bible has been mistranslated or misinterpreted.

I think it's outrageous too. The brain is kind of naturally designed to degenerate. Even if you slowed down or prevent any aging process, the mind would eventually go the wayside.

I wouldn't want to live to 200 years old.

part of the living to 1000 is because of curing diseases but I am sure that the prediction is very wrong.

people say alot of crazy things... this is just another outlandish prediction.

i dont even have to read the article for that

but i can't believe this...because death is not only for a bad health..our situation also depends on the living....
