Ageing, Regenerative Medicine And The Purpose Of Life by mkmyers45(m): 12:04pm On Oct 02, 2012 |
If you all didnt know..some scientists see ageing as a disease that is curable and the field of regenerative medicine is dedicated to studies realting to this... Regenerative medicine is the "process of replacing or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function".[1] This field holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by replacing damaged tissue and/or by stimulating the body's own repair mechanisms to heal previously irreparable tissues or organs. Regenerative medicine also empowers scientists to grow tissues and organs in the laboratory and safely implant them when the body cannot heal itself. Re-Grown Organ: Johns Hopkins doctors are once again making history–this time by using a woman’s own tissue to build her a new ear. http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2012/09/26/hopkins-doctors-give-woman-a-new-ear/ PIXIE DUST: Powder nick-named "Pixie Dust" is being used to save the limbs of war heroes who have been wounded in Afghanistan. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1270990/Pixie-Dust-pig-bladders-regrows-limbs-wounded-soldiers.html Longetivity: The general average lifespan of a normal mouse is 1.5 to 2 years. Whenever a record is broken, the researcher receives an amount based on the current size of the prize and the percentage by which they exceed the previously held record. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methuselah_Foundation Now Aubrey David Nicholas Jasper de Grey has proposed in his book 'Ending Aging ' that within 50-100 years humans will conquer and control ageing and live for up to a thousand years. Now severally on this fourm i have heard theists say 'if science can stop death i will stop beleieveing in God', Indeed if this research is perfected sometime in the future, it will land a big blow on organized religion Will life retain any form of purposfulness with immortality? Dosen't death give life a spark? Do humans really want to live foreever? |

Life if finite, immortality is infinite. Death does not give life ANY form of spark. I don't want to live forever. AFTER LIFE=AFTER DEATH. Life is the spark and death is an extinguisher. |

While everyone wishes to live longer and healthier,it would create much bigger problems for humanity. Under our present economic and social order, given our appetite for consumption of resources, mother earth and her resources can only accommodate a limited number of human lives at any given time. If everyone lives to be 150yrs or 200yrs, how would society be able to control birth rates? The rich and powerful and psychotic would be able to perpetuate their economic and political hegemonies for much longer periods. Just imagine tyrants living up to 200yrs. |

biblically we die because we sin another context, organic material has a limit time to live is not created to live forever that is why plants, grass, animals and other organic material die human is looking for manner to live longer because of the benefits that life is giving him but no way you will surely die |

What do you mean chief? Dosent it mean that man is god? |

What do you mean chief? Dosent it mean that man is god?nah Emperor Mkmyers45, that means man is trying to Play God. study those 2 verses i gave you, there is a people on earth that those 2 verses are referring to. trying to recreate or regenerate man is one of those traits. you are not going to be able to play God. God gave us a maximum of 120 years to live ( Genesis 6 vs 3 ). the prophesy of the maximum years the lord gave us is already being fulfilled. lets look at the list of the oldest people alive Rank Name- Sex- Birth date- Death date- Age- Place of death or residence 1 Jeanne Calment F 21 February 1875 4 August 1997 122 years, 164 days France 2 Sarah Knauss F 24 September 1880 30 December 1999 119 years, 97 days United States 3 Lucy Hannah F 16 July 1875 21 March 1993 117 years, 248 days United States 4 Marie-Louise Meilleur F 29 August 1880 16 April 1998 117 years, 230 days Canada 5 María Capovilla F 14 September 1889 27 August 2006 116 years, 347 days Ecuador 6 Tane Ikai F 18 January 1879 12 July 1995 116 years, 175 days Japan 7 Elizabeth Bolden F 15 August 1890 11 December 2006 116 years, 118 days United States 8 Besse Cooper F 26 August 1896 Living 116 years, 37 days United States 9 Maggie Barnes F 6 March 1882 19 January 1998 115 years, 319 days United States 10 Christian Mortensen M 16 August 1882 25 April 1998 115 years, 252 days United States[a] |

There needs to be a balance in nature- birth n Death. If people had to live for up to a thousand years,then we'd also have to stop giving birth or else we'd over populate the earth n use up our food supply. I don't think it's gonna be possible to slow down the aging process anyway whether by gene mutation or whatever means they've cooked up. |

Ignoring crazies who want you dead just because, there's the issue of real estate in the brain. Older people have shorter days because they have a lot more information stored up to contend with. They start thinking about something, have experience, frameworks etc to compare with. Young people don't and rather have space to fill with knowledge, experiences etc. If you really think about it, live long enough and you're bound to grow crazy eventually. Lack of fresh ideas, population problems (as already mentioned), and unknown benefits (or disadvantages) of random genetic mutations. Any other (non spiritual abeg) problems one can think of? It might not be a straight forward issue. From here on out though it seems we will determine how we evolve. And there's also the predicted singularity.... Inb4 hubris, arrogance, die because god said so, or heaven etc also as it's 2012, WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE SOON anyways |

REALLY? I'LL LOOK IT UP. IT COULD BE BOTH AS WELL. YOUR BRAIN ALSO CONSTANTLY MAKES CONNECTIONS, DO THE ENZYMES AFFECT THAT? EDIT: THINKING ABOUT IT THOUGH WHY WOULD ENZYMES AFFECT PERCEPTION OF TIME? |

wiegraf:I AM NOT ARGUING ABOUT TIME PERCEPTION. YOU SAID 'OLDER PEOPLE HAVE SHORTER DAYS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT MORE INFORMATION TO CONTEND WITH'. THIS IS THE ONLY POINT I WAS TRYING TO CORRECT. WHICH I SAID IT WAS SCIENTIFIC HERESY BECAUSE LACK OF ENZYMES IS WHY OLDER PEOPLE HAVE SHORTER DAYS. HOWEVER MAYBE I WAS JUMPING THE GUN. LET ME ASK YOU. WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY 'SHORTER DAYS' ? |

YEAH, LIKE YOU IMPLY HERE, I MEANT TIME PERCEPION. MAYBE I WASN'T CLEAR, HEATHEN. ENZYMES I SUPPOSE SCIENCE MIGHT DEAL WITH FAIRLY EASILY. TIME PERCEPTION I WOULD ASSUME WOULD REQUIRE EXPANDING THE BRAINS CAPACITY/SPEED OR DELETING OLDER MEMORIES. PERHAPS NOT SO EASY TO SOLVE. |

obadiah777: HMMMM. LET ME ASK YOU, ARE YOU GERMAN ? IS WIEGRAF A GERMAN NAME ? THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME IS PATHETIC. I WAS PLAYING A GAME, DIDN'T WANT TO USE USUAL HANDLE ON INSTINCT, USED GAME CHAR'S. INCIDENTALLY THE CHAR WAS ANTI-THEIST, AND I DID THIS BEFORE FULLY DISCARDING RELIGION OR KNOWING ABOUT NL/RELIGION. IT WAS MEANT TO BE... IT'S PROBABLY A CORRUPTION OF WIGLAF, A NORDIC NAME (which might have originated from germany, etc...) /uselessinfo YOU PICK 777 BECAUSE THAT'S THE KIND OF PLANE YOU WANT TO HIJACK? 2 Likes |
