My friend’s daughter is doing a project on biological immortality. It would be great if you could help her by answering a short survey.
She writes:
"This is a part of the primary research for my EPQ, titled: “To what extent does telomere biology hold the key to achieving biological immortality?”
By completing this form, you will be helping me to gather data for the second half of my project, which involves an evaluation of public understanding and perspectives on biological immortality. The results will be analysed and used as a source of information for my final dissertation."
For me, I’d rather not have biological immortality for simple reasons: The only way society generally progresses is when rich assholes die. As the guillotine is sadly out of fashion, we’ve had to rely more on natural causes.
Imagine Elon Musk living forever… or that million year old politician you hate… or those boomers constantly voting against anything to help the younger generation because “I got mine, fuck them kids”. Then we get the overpopulation to go with it and… eesh.
Agreed. It’s a net negative until we equalize wealth. If the rich exist, they’ll corrupt it from inception
