Singularity

In this debate I will be arguing that radical life extension is good for society. https://www.debateart.com/debates/1723/radical-life-extension-technologies-would-be-on-balance-beneficial-to-society

It is my opinion that arguments against it, are really no different than just rationalizations because people have accepted death as inevitable, and now cope with death by pretending like it is a good thing. Copes occur everyday and for a variety of reasons. Arguing against radical life extension would be similar to arguing against something like childhood leukemia, which a cure for would also increase some people's life expectancy. 

Some argue that death is good because only the rich would benefit at first, but this is equally as silly and for similar reasons. It would be similar to discouraging the invention of a home based PC, just because it is only available to a select few to begin with. Or saying we should not drink fresh safe water, just because there are portions of the world, without access to it.

I'm not familiar with sacred geometry or anything.

I didn't realize you were most people.

You're probably just being hard on yourself

I think Jesus can help you with that. 

only if you define dying as being alive. If you are saying we start dying as soon as we are born than I can see the argument that you are extending the dying process. As far as claiming that life extension would just extend how long somebody stays alive on their death bed, I think is silly

It doesn't make any sense that life would be extended by lengthening how long we keep a person from dying when they are in the process of dying. It makes more sense that it would be accomplished by delaying the affects of aging

What in the world would make you think that increasing the human life span means people would have more decrepit years instead bbn of more healthy years

Sounds like a good debate topic for you than.

My main concern is the psychological implications of a 200 year old brain

Which is why I think colonizing space is very important 

Invincible and indefinite are 2 different things. I think the average lifespan in a universe where everything stays the same is probably 200 years old, due to things like suicide, murder, natural disasters, accidents etc. 

Does anybody else think that it will be possible for us to gain an indefinite lifespan in our lifetime? I am doing this debate on it https://www.debateart.com/debates/1719/radical-life-extension-is-possible-in-our-lifetime
