OT Kirk, I believe we will reach a point sometime soon where people will NOT want their lives extended any more. I have spent much time with my grandmother in her nursing home before she died, and there are many people being "saved" by so-called "miracle" drugs only to live 10, 20 years or more really unable to do much. My basic question is how longer do we expect to push human longevity when people right now can live 120 years? These are questions nobody seems willing to answer; only to push on "beacuse we can." I believe you are out of touch with the reality of most people talking about artificial limbs, skin etc. If the quality of life is not there for people, all of these so-called "miracles of science" are worthless.
