WHAT IF YOU WERE IMMORTAL Timeline : Would YOU Want to Live FOREVER??

What if you can live forever? Will the world be the same? Of course not. In many films, immortality is a curse, punishment, and not a reward. Everyday life would be different. There would be a problem with motivation; after all, you have time for everything, infinite time. Could such life be boring vegetation or not?

You probably don’t want to die. Most people don’t. But death takes us all no matter our preference. As children, we are taught that one day we’ll have to grow old and pass on, but still, inside, most of us don’t generally welcome the reality of the hereafter.

Though we are unique among Earth’s creatures in that we can anticipate our demise, in all our intellectual superiority, we often can’t picture it. Steven Cave, the author of Immortality calls it: “the mortality paradox”: You know you’re going to die, but you are unable to imagine the form and function of that death, unable to conceive of a world in which you don’t exist.

Is death inevitable for humans? In so far as present knowledge goes - yes. For some simple organisms, things are different. In a certain sense, many single-celled organisms neither age nor die. For example, an amoeba in an optimum environment grows and when it is ready, simply divides in two. Amazing!

With the discoveries in science and medicine, a lot has changed. Until recent times, most people everywhere died young. On average, ancient Romans lived no more than 20 or 30 years. Two centuries ago, the average person would hope to live to 40. The average life expectancy in Ireland today is 75 years. Who knows what the future holds?

But many people agree that it is extremely unlikely that it will ever become possible to broaden the human lifespan indefinitely to achieve immortality. Even if this could be achieved - it is doubtful if it would be desirable either biologically, medically, ethically, or psychologically. So what would an immortal life be like for the typical human being?
