Would you like to live forever?

We live very little. And we do not have time. Even in early childhood, I was frightened by the thought of death. Have we come for a miserable seventy years, of which only the first half is not overshadowed by visible aging and diseases? To my surprise, very few people are worried about aging and death. According to my surveys, neither schoolchildren nor young people want to live forever! “It's boring,” they say! Life is generally boring in people who have limited their world to the iPhone screen.

Alas, aging and death are very firmly established in our lives. Most people consider them normal. And since they are normal, it means that you do not need to fight them. Unfortunately, the doctors are of the same opinion. Therefore, the formation of the correct public opinion is no less important than the struggle itself to prolong life. However, is it possible? Maybe!


Recently there have been many discoveries that brought us closer to a radical extension of life. Gene therapy , the cultivation and printing of organs and tissues, personalized medicine and cybernetic limbs.

Soon there will be a first head transplant to a person A number of companies already offer genome sequencing and analysis for the presence of diseases, stem cell storage and telomerase treatment. According to information of familiar biologists, it may be included in clinical practice in about ten years. And telomerase can prolong life by 10 - 20 years. Look good at sixty for forty and forty at thirty? While these procedures cost a lot of money, but by the time of their clinical use, they will be cheaper by about ten times.

In principle, you can start your path to life extension today! To help you a healthy lifestyle, the study of scientific bases, for example, PubMed , regular analyzes, including biomarkers of aging , taking geroprotectors and treatment of chronic diseases. Nothing complicated - but many do not even think about the possibility of winning 10 - 20 years of healthy life!

Of course, living forever in the literal sense is hardly possible - after all, the universe is not eternal . After two billion oceans on Earth will evaporate on Earth, in five - the Sun will turn into a red giant, but even earlier - in four - the Milky Way will crash into the Andromeda Galaxy. I do not know how humanity will deal with the problems voiced, but I really want to look at them! And you?
