    Can we live forever ? Looks like we can soon .

    http://www.visualnews.com/2011/03/11...ng-new-organs/

    Have you ever wondered if we could replace old worn body parts much like you’d replace parts on your car? Well, that time is nearly here and the possibility of greatly lengthening lifespan may be just around the corner. New discoveries in the scientific community are quickly advancing the ability to not only replace organs, but grow them from a patients own unique cells. This episode from NOVA reveals some of the unusual techniques that have allowed scientists to create the structures necessary for new ears, lungs and even hearts while showing us that the day of rejected donor organs and long recovery periods may well be gone.

    Living in space makes you age slower due to less natural radiation exposureSo if there's a space colony one day, people might be able to live for 150 years.

    There is a movie 'The Island' (Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor with). They tell you how to live for a very long time

    If we could keep our brain power and somewhat of a body that would be alright for 100 years or so.

    is that necessarily a good thing?? not sure i'd want to be around forever, conception of time and events would be so distorted to a point you'd lose your humanity. but perhaps that's the point of this vid.

    I would hate for people to start living forever...this world is overpopulated enough with the rate some of us reproduce like rabbits and most of them dont have the money to support 1 kid...

    i think it's all up to God, cause tomorrow - no matter what kind of discovery are we gonna have - if the world shakes and nuclear plants explode - scientists die - and we are back to square one.
