A "cure" for aging...

[England my lionheart]

Physically i think yes but mentally or the condition of the mind i doubt,my Wife is a Dementia Therapist and from what i glean from it is this,the mind reaches a kind of dead end so it reverts to its childhood,i'm not saying that everyone develops Dementia though but it does appear to me that in people over 80 years old that their brain sloooooows down.

I don't think it would be a problem for most churches.
Death at some time or another is inevitable even for the near immortal.

However, I found, according to Scripture during Jesus 1000-year reign over earth paradise will be restored to earth which means aging will be canceled out forever.

Since sickness and death will be no more [Rev 21 vs 4,5; Isaiah 33 v 24]
then the aging process will also be no more. This will happen when God destroys evil on earth. [Proverbs 2 vs 21,22; 10 v30; 21 v18; Rev. 11 v 18 B] Present global news shows conditions threaten man's well being showing we are nearing the 'time of separation' [Matthew 25 vs 31,32] when Jesus will be ushering global Peace on Earth among men of goodwill.

Good questions....

I personally see no moral dilemma with thr extension of life via advance scientific manipulstion of the body, My only question is why should one seek to extend their life to delay the inevitable. The extension of life in an overly populated planet is not necessary. I can see why a person who feel they haven't accomplished a set goal would want to extend life but it really isn't a practical thing.

Thank you. I thought they were good questions too

You inquired…
“…why should one seek to extend their life to delay the inevitable?”

Give me a coupla' thousand years to reflect upon that, and perhaps a satisfactory answer may then occur to me

Not for nothing, but overpopulation has a simple solution. Humans must stop breeding like rabbits. Yes, it’s really that simple.

Read more, and understand more: Total Fertility Rate vs. Birth Rate

Most animal populations remain relatively stable in numbers when there is a natural and superior predator species that keeps it in balanced check. As we sit upon the top of that food chain, only our own species can manage it’s own numbers to retain that sustainable balance (wars, and disease, and other natural disasters notwithstanding).

Let’s just say that a sizable portion of our species is more concerned with unbridled procreation than, well heck, anything else.

There are some trees alive today that have been around in excess of 4000 years… is a tree a more practical part of an earthly existence than a sentient and consciously self-aware human being?

Hmmmm?

Humans dont matter since there basically parasites that dont give back to the host planet. Trees are more helpfull to the planet and far cooler.

I therefore expect you to dutifully report when called to the Elmer's Glue factory.

I have some wood-working projects to complete.

Thank you in advance for your compliance in making that possible.

Sincerely yours,

I was never given any rules or guide book before my birth into this world. Basically I was given a free will, preferences and needs. Then there's the respect, more respect, less respect, and unknown, towards living beings and things. I think that any living being should live as long as he/she wishes to live. Personally I feel like I have stuff to do for at least 1000 more years. So yeah, I'd take the knowledge on how to live indefinitely as long as I have free will and free control over my mind and body.

If I'd discover a cure for ageing, I'd probably go case by case with people, not giving them full information, until I feel that humanity as a civilization is completely ready for this. I'd do all I can to help to make this happen.

What do you think of what the tree of Revelation 22 v 2 will do ?______________

Well a 4000 year old tree is different from a 30 year old human. A tree is stationary, immobile, and unable to create global warming, chaos, nuclear wars etc. Humans consume resources especially resources beyond what is recommended. I believe a 4,000 year old tree is more practical than a resource consuming human being. Humans today do not consume resources that are necessary, rather, resources that are available.
