In 20 years, will you be ready to live ….forever?
Science Fiction you say?
Man (And Machine) is alot closer to making this a reality than you think.
Here’s an excerpt from the story:
“Bridge 2 is the full flowering of this biotechnology revolution, where we can really reprogram our genes – turn off genes that promote disease and aging, add new genes that protect us from disease and aging.
There’s that recent study that showed certain genes, if people have them they live a lot longer. Add those genes. There are many different levels of information processing that underlie biology. It’s very much an information process. Craig Venter gave a powerful demonstration of that a few weeks ago by turning a computer file into a living organism.
We can reprogram the information that defines our biology. We have 22,000 software programs called genes, and we can change them. There are other ideas as well: regrowing our cells, tissues and organs, using our own DNA.
These things are moving along at an exponential pace. They’ll be a thousand times more powerful in 10 years, a million times more powerful in 20 years. Fifteen to 20 years from now really will be a different era.”
