i'd be willing to concede that printed / grown organs will be available to you and me , as well as some advances in artificial organs to replace failing ones ... so i might expect to hit 100 instead of 80 ... genetic modification of grown humans , my bet is no ... and legally speaking , my bet is against genetic modification of embryos happening either , whether or not we're scientifically able to do it , so long as 95% of the planet still qualifies as religious ... nano-tech capable of extending life , also doubt it being invented / widely available / cost not 10 billion dollars at $1 per nanobot , at least in time for me or you ... certainly no extreme life extending cybernetics internal or external before the 22nd century , just better pacemakers , artificial joints , maybe we get a "kidney pacemaker" or a "liver pacemaker" by then , but probably the preference will be for grown replacements anyway , somewhat negating the need for these ... we aren't even close to being able to accurately map the electrical movement in a tomato in real time , nevermind a human brain , so i'd definitely put the idea of consciousness transfer at the end of the list , in any case ... we still don't have flying cars and we thought we'd have those 15 years ago ...

As for it not being desirable, or human, I believe it to be both.
Sure it will mean all sorts of changes for society and the way we live, no doubt, some positive and some negative, and society will no doubt struggle to keep up, but that will not stop it from happening.
We have already done life extension, as a race, and we will of course without any doubt, continue to do so, and we will get better at it, and it is feasible it will happen in many of our lifetimes.
Basically we would adapt, and evolve, as life does, we would create new education, new mechanisms, new understandings, new philosophy, new stages to life, it would change everything, but that has never ever stopped humans from doing anything, and that is not going to change now.
Life extension, to an extreme level, is pretty much inevitable, it is just a case of when, not if. I think it is all together a very common human desire to be alive and healthy, I think it is going to be possible to extend lifespan from a technological point of view. So when you couple those two facts together, you are just left with the WHEN we will get there, and not IF. So really as a society we need to start working on ways to deal with this technology, and its implications for society/humanity.
Personally I am totally up for it.
Damn straight brother !

Good morning Bitcoinland. Still going sideways I see. From the way the trolls are chirping, you'd think we'd crashed by $2 though. They're truly getting desperate. Just another low volume weekend (so far).

--- Wow. It's becoming clearer and clearer that you were victimized as a little girl, Jeannie. Perhaps you should consider professional help.
