There are over 6 billion people on Earth. They all fight hard to survive. But why am I the only person who doesn't want to grow old and die? Even educated, affluent, and thoughtful people don't seem to give this a passing thought - that maybe we should look into this whole "not dying" thing.
Norm McDonald used this in his standup routine, but it was just stating a fact - what's the point of curing arthritis, if you are still going to die? The audience laughed, but I doubt they thought about it.
As Norm said (and I'm paraphrasing), politicians talk about the number one problem being the economy. I think the number one problem is death.
The only solution I see to not dying is medical research. We should put all our resources into that.
If research can't stop dying, then we have to preserve out brains after death, in the hope that someone will bring us back. The only way to preserve the brain is chemically - freezing destroys brain cells. So, why isn't someone chemically preserving brains - right now? It doesn't require electricity or refrigeration - just a bucket full of some chemical.
If there is a company doing this, please let me know!
