On 60 Minutes last night, a British scientist was interviewed/profiled, who claims in 20 or 30 years, science will be able to extend human life almost indefinately--1,000 years or more was claimed. Apparently his work and ideas are not the work of a crazed wacko, but scientifically testable and logical hypotheses (so said the critics interviewed).
Anyway, I found this to be incredibly interesting, and like the program, wondered what the implications for such a scientific breakthrough could be? Imagine a world already overpopulated and underemployed, coping with a population that neither dies off, or ages. Wow!
