Will it be possible for humans to die many years from now?

Think of all the medical advances we've had in the last century, the last decade. Think of things to come.

No one will die. Massive global over crowding due to our desire to stay alive.

Should be interesting.

Factoid: It has been predicted that children born today, should live to at least 200 years old.

Dont worry. Good old sex, drugs, rock and roll will kill them off sooner rather than later http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/wink.gif

Deep in the unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

Eternal life has been a quest for man since he could could grasp the concept of death. Early expeditions of the World were in search of a so-called "fountain of youth." Man's quest has just gotten a lot more high tech recently.

Eternal life will not be cheap. The price of any drugs or process to extend life considerably will cost infinite amounts of money. Therefore, I don't think over population of the World will be a problem. Children in Third World countries will continue to die at alarmingly young ages. Disease and famine will continue to kill off the adults at young ages. Only three or four countries in the World will have the means to afford such technology, and once we overpopulate them, we'll have the folks at Disney buy a Third World country and have another resort island to occupy.

Some of it's magic..
Some of it's tragic..
But I've had a good life all the way.

It is my firm intention to become a killer robot cyborg.
