Eternal life-projects

 

Oh, the pleasures of all those new inventions - OOPS!!!!! Not all that nice when they sort of turn upon us, the users ....

That makes me think of all those scientists, dreamers or just very wealthy people who focus on the fight against that eternal foe of humankind: AGE, i.e. OLD AGE. I suppose that 90% or so of all humans want to fend off the attacks by that Grim Reaper we've learnt to fear: It may happen to others, but not to us ....

"Come on, you elusive key to Eternal Life, hands up and surrender to science!!"

Life extension is what a lot of people are after, and they use all kinds of ways to find the magic formula that will give them what they want. However, one ought to weigh the benefits of gaining more time against the hardships of the time one spends trying to do so. To focus on regaining one's youth and all those more or less fake "eternal life-projects" one must accept the loss of time doing just that. And then what if one wins the fight against old age and death? What is one to do with all that spared time? 

I think most of us will find that eternal life isn't all it's been said to be, and that now we have to fight another mighty foe: Boredom ....
