The "Top 60 ways Americans die each year" thread reminded me of an ad I get from time to time on YouTube regarding stock pics. One ad speaks of a technology firm that is on the brink of a new technology that could allow humans to live to be 1000 years old and various bio-firms working on the technology and the likes of Bezos are investing in the companies. So I tried to look up the company but didn't find anything. I did find multiple articles on the possibility of living to 1000 and. This article on people living to 120 caught my attention. If this stands to be true that the average person lives to 120 or longer and the world birth rate continues as it is the long term ramifications become a major issue. Space, the ability to supply food, cleanliness issues just to name a few. Then there will be the question of selective birth I suppose? Considering the abortion rate, does government decide who lives and who dies, who is born and who isn't, sterilization? Scary thoughts.
