Re: Live Long Enough to Live Forever
[ QUOTE ]
ZJ, Is adding 20 years really worth anything? I suggest you visit a nursing home some time and see what being "old" is really about. [/ QUOTE ] Try not to think of it as tacking an extra 20 years on at the end. Think of it as slowing down the aging process by the equivelent.

The title of this post
I don't want people to get tangled up over the title. It's simply something intriguing that will sell lots of copies.
No where in the book does the author state humans will live forever. Try not to take the word literally. Perhaps a more accurate title would be: Live long enough to see a time when people no longer die of old age, cancer, or organ failure

Re: The title of this post
It all depends on what the book states as the Third Bridge. Because the fundamental problem is that the body's cells simply break down at a certain point of age, regardless of how "healthy" you are otherwise. If nanotechnology could prevent this from happening at a molecular level, then at least theoretically, it would be possible help retard the aging process in individual cells.

I was wrong. I now remove this from my list, and replace it with 'I am a rock'.
