As time goes by, its undeniably noticeable that we are getting much closer to a man-made fountain of youth.

Masking the research with the face of "life extension", would it actually be a good thing that one day man will never age at all, hence not dying at all?
In terms of research and sciences, it might be the most significant ever, but socially and environmentally, is it?

Unless of course till then, man had found a way to actually step into the world of 'after-death' and see what's in there, then we might have another thought of actually living forever.

Even if say there are nothing after death, then we seriously need the technology to either help us migrate to all sorts of places in the Universe, or just simply shrink us to ants size just to make more space here on Earth.

firedauz,

Most human beings are INCAPABLE of living happily regardless of their physical environment. So, living longer just prolong the suffering. So, why does it matters??

We NEED to learn how to live first.
