Can we Cheat on Nature?

[9ja Amaka]

Were we only limited to stay less than 150 years on earth? Ancient stories have it that humans stayed more than that, and dropped down to lesser years afterwards. The world advances and certain nutritional foods are no where to be found again, which may have kept our forefathers stronger and able enough to age significantly, a man in the Bible , Methuselah, aged about 900+ years. If the scientists come up with an eligible pill that would delay the stay of humans on earth past 200 years, then it's quite a nice innovation.

The truth is we don’t even realize how much our bodies pay attention to what we to it . The stress , bad sleep, junk foods and all kinds of stuffs , it’s basically speeding up the aging process. Meanwhile people who eat well , sleep well and exercise seems to age slower.
So even if scientists come up with pills increase lifespans to 150+ , if we don’t take care of the basics all that tech stuff won’t do much.

[BADecker]

Essentially, all the good things we do to our bodies - good nutrition, good sleep, good exercise, good water, etc. - and all the bad things we avoid (all the opposite stuff), really don't do the healing that we want unless there is one other ingredient. That ingredient is love... love for God, and love for other people. When true love exists, it makes for all the other processes to work better.

The only place to get a true understanding of God is the Bible. Constant reading or listening to the words of the whole Bible is the only real way. You can't love God if you don't realize that He exists. And you can't get a clear picture of Him and His love if you don't find out about Him.

Finding out about God will show us that we don't really want to cheat on nature, because such cheating is really against us and our health.

If you ask me this same question, I will reply you by saying no, because no matter how we took a sleeping pills to ensure all night dtand6, we will still end up dozing off, same also applies when we are growing, it's natural and we can't deprive ourselves from this, neither can we extend the longevity to how these should happen to man.

I understand that scientist have always been proven making tremendous achievements by improving ways of life through what they have researched, but I recently came across this topic and will appreciate us to drop our opinion on what we see about it.

A set of Chinese researchers are making moves to introduce anti aging pills, that can help improves human existence or longevity of life to about 150 years, this involves the introduction of what will work as anti aging pills, is this a welcome idea or bad initiative we shouldn't accept.

How is extending the life expectancy "cheating"? I mean we already over doubled average age of humans since 1900. That's done with help of science as well, as we know how to eat healthy, how to treat injuries and sickness and grow more food and make our food last longer.

Is there something wrong with that you can enjoy 2x of the life expectancy since 1900? Would you rather live only 30 years and die to something that's not possible to treat? That seems silly to me. Why wouldn't future generations want to expand their life expectancy?

Nature is doing a lot to kill us. We just happen to live on top of the food chain so we tend to forget it.

How is extending the life expectancy "cheating"? I mean we already over doubled average age of humans since 1900. That's done with help of science as well

Before now, people can leave as long as more than 200 years according to history, but today, you hardly get those that can leave 100 years, now that the researchers are making developments on how to extend on human life, expectancy, this means that they are developing on what  could have a possible threat on life because most of these things do pose a long term effect on human.

as we know how to eat healthy, how to treat injuries and sickness and grow more food and make our food last longer.

Now that you see a 20 year old man looking like 35 years old, how could the use of genetically modified organism on food items and farming not implicate life expectancy, when all we eat are raw and pure hybridization.

[BADecker]

God made nature for us. We are allowed to manipulate it in ways that God didn't or that nature hasn't manipulated itself. However, because we don't know more than just a tiny bit of nature, perhaps all of our inventions exist somewhere in nature where we haven't looked, yet.

[Ibeology]

Were we only limited to stay less than 150 years on earth? Ancient stories have it that humans stayed more than that, and dropped down to lesser years afterwards.

We are not limited, but today, will you observe a decrease ever since then to this day, accident and health challenges are what take people away mostly in this generation.

The world advances and certain nutritional foods are no where to be found again, which may have kept our forefathers stronger and able enough to age significantly

What we eat also matters, our forefathers do depend on farming in those days and there are no hybrids or genetically modified organism in farm practice to aid what we plant for faster results, that is why we can see the rate of increase in cancer and other health complications through what we take in as a result of modern technology and improved food varieties we take in, which shortend life unknowingly to us.

a man in the Bible , Methuselah, aged about 900+ years. If the scientists come up with an eligible pill that would delay the stay of humans on earth past 200 years, then it's quite a nice innovation.

Ever since then, wr have been having a decline according to scriptural believes and even up till now, we see that people do not live longer year again as before.

In this case nature have is own ways to boomerize it does not matter what we eat and rest ,what we work because sometimes it is what our forefather has done that reflect to our living also in our society today many people are living a fake life thinking they are cheating nature why the nature is powerful some people dial your hair there will be a time there will be no much chair on your head which is caused by nature there are a lot of fake things which people are living into, nature dictate a fake life one after the order it is obvious that the old shall die why young shall grow when the time comes nature did not take bribe, no matter what it may cost,l must say nobody can cheat nature because it is more powerful than you.

According to what history book? Please name me one peer reviewed study that confirms that.

Or are you referring to stories from people from time when they didn't have access to accurate calendars and when no one had birth certificates or recorded history? From time when majority couldn't count or write, but they were basically boasting about their ages, like if you are 100 then i am 200. And they had to take their word for it.

Not a reliable source imho.

I don't know if China will get any good results if they do such research, but I believe that no matter what people do, they will not be able to increase their lifespan. There are also news reports that people suddenly fell ill or even died after taking some medicine to increase their lifespan. I think this kind of research is useless. Although we all want to live, in reality, people can only live as long as they have. There is no medicine that can stop people from aging.

[Omj1014]

Instead of trying to cheat nature I think we have to try and use what she has giving us to our advantage:
Eating the right fruits and exercising are both key components of a healthy lifestyle that can contribute significantly to healthy aging and potentially slow down aspects of the biological aging process
Fruits are packed with nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, two major drivers of aging and chronic diseases.

People are going through different problem in life and some of them might not be fully aware about the origins of their problem which must have been due to the way they live their life and what they are putting in their mouth. The food we eat can add up to the problem we are facing today. You can not cheat nature and everything will do is always accumulating till when it will starts reacting in our body without knowing those things that must have caused it in yhe past due to steady accumulations.

Lot of things yet to be discovered, but we are moving fast towards getting some of them, but it has to be reminded of us that we shouldn't because of our personal interest to manipulate some things to our detriments, extending ones life may not be possible except that it comes from God, you can see how many having been bleaching their skin for instance just for beauty sake, not knowing all theses chemicals used contains high level of hazardous chemicals, we should eat good food and all other things will be in place, including the longevity of life we wanted.

If you ask me this same question, I will reply you by saying no, because no matter how we took a sleeping pills to ensure all night dtand6, we will still end up dozing off, same also applies when we are growing, it's natural and we can't deprive ourselves from this, neither can we extend the longevity to how these should happen to man.

What I can say is that no matter how we try to cheat nature that even at the point where we're able to manipulate the nature of things at some moment, in later moment we're still met with some consequences for what we have done. If you take pills to not sleep at night and assuming you didn't doze off and fall asleep all night, you won't be spared of not feeling unstable the next day because of the sleep you didn't have at night. The same applies in other aspects that nature manipulation and cheats are happening, some of the consequences don't happen immediately but eventually it does.

[OgNasty]

I wouldn't put too much stock in any Chinese anti-aging pills.  I do like their teeth regrowing research and it would be great if they could cure baldness...  Anti-aging seems a bit far fetched though.

As far as cheating on nature.  A good example might be tanning beds or indoor horticulture.

Nobody can chest nature, God has created everything the way it should be, the way that it pleases Him, if anybody wants to counter it there is always a repacaution. When it comes to sleep, eat, rest, passing wastes, aging and a couple of other natural occcurances we should not try to alter their natural order, if we do we should be ready to face the results of our alterations.

Life is good and we should try to enjoy it as much as we can so when we grow old we would die like our forefathers before us, I will rather die at very old age than continue to live longer through artificial means. I will support innovations in medicine that will make us to be immune to sicknesses that can kill is before old age, not the one that will make us to continue living beyond very old age. What if the anyi aging drugs begins to have negative effects, the users will regret, they will wish they had died when they where supposed to in old age.

[Dunamisx]

People should not take this wrongly, not that we shouldn't be in support of the development of new things as the world advances towards the use of modern technologies and scientific research innovation to improve living conditions, however, we should also know that not all may be good for us and to use, we have done that after taking into consideration for a further test, they do more of harm to man than the benefits we think they serve, I don't know if there's a better way we can use to improve life expectancy by any research than from we take into our body.

Surely, we can be able to bend nature in somewhat way, but completely escaping its effects or laws is impossible. We may most likely outsmart it only for a moment, and maybe push our bodies beyond certain limits or even build some systems that may seem to override the balance of nature, but in a matter of time, the consequences of such actions would always find a way to circle back, all it needs is just time, maybe hours, days, weeks, months or even years, but the after effects will always resurface. Nature doesn’t rush, so while you think you may have defiled a natural law, in one way or the other, nature would just remind you that it doesn’t forget.

[Dunamisx]

Not on everything we can bend that pertains nature, there are times it could occur to us for a perfection of what we wanted to see happen or come in place, while atimes it could be that we don't have to bother ourselves in worry about what nature already offers, this is just like we saying that we are trying to improvise on something that will make man to live long and not die, which is different from developing an anti aging pills that suppress on the way we look or appear, though there's a natural remedy part of it that has to do with what we eat, yet we can't denied we are getting older regardless of what had been used.

God created the universe, and He did it by speaking. So, it is the Word of God that made everything.

God made people and gave them the Earth to use as they wanted. But they turned away from accepting God as their Creator... they believed a lie (the devil, Satan).

In the perfect times of the Beginning, everything worked perfectly for mankind... no getting old and dying. But mankind has been wrecking everything he touches, because people have turned away from God.

God gave people the gift of His Word in written form, the Bible. Now people can access God in ways that they couldn't, before.

Fill up on the Word of God, the Bible, to turn away from the lie and to accept God. If this transformation grows strong enough in a person, he can gain a long life for himself. It's called having faith in God. And the only place this faith comes from is the Word of God, the Bible.

We do have people around us who are 50 years old but they look like 30 years and there are people who are 30 years old but they look like 50 years. If we don't take care of our health then it will accelerate the ageing process. We must avoid such pills that can increase the lifespan to 150 years because they must have side effects which may destroy our critical body parts like heart, kidneys etc. Our main focus is not to live 100 or more years but to live to live a healthy and happy life, no matter how many years we are alive.  

[BADecker]

^^^ God didn't create people here to die. Our Goal is to trust God that he will remake this whole thing someday. The next goal is to get God-strength from God, through filling ourselves on the words of the Bible, so that we can live indefinitely.

Almost nobody does this. Almost nobody even tries.
