There is already a food crisis in the world, you may just live in a country which isn't part of the world can't afford food.
By saying that there are parts of the world which can still afford food, you're highlighting that there are places as of yet unaffected. My point is that
all countries, even the U.S. and other rich nations would be experiencing a crisis.
Look at the newspaper, the statistic show the contrary, people tend to have babies when they're between 30 and 40 and even beyand that age because they can live much longer and they want to focus their carreer. That's what is happening with any devellpoped country. Poor countries, tend to make more babies because they easely die, the birth rate is highest..
On the one hand, I have heard this phenomenon being discussed, but I personally find it somewhat difficult to believe. If someone had kids when they were thirty, then by the time those children were grown up the parents would be nearly fifty. By the time the next generation was ready to bear children, the original parents would be on their way out, and the second generation of children would essentially have never met their grandparents. Considering that this is still very uncommon, I doubt that these recent statistics reflect the whole truth of the situation.
Furthermore, I can tell you from just my -local- area that there are plenty of people having children before they even reach legal adulthood, so there's that too. Just because people are having"children
that they want to keep later in life doesn't mean they aren't out making babies long before.
I hope you're trolling because religion stopped to countrol most of the world gouvenments some decade ago.
Please do try to maintain some semblance of a level of professionalism, if you would. Furthermore, just because a government body isn't classified as a theocracy does not mean that religion has no strong impact on it. Here's a prime example: gay rights controversy.
Usually things tend to make public, it took more time but things still make to public. Look at flate screen TV, who really here had one 10 years ago ? When it came out ? Still if they keep it it for the rich that really won't matter, they're already a lot things in the world that rich people can afford and us not.
A line of flat screen televisions and a life extending pharmaceutical are on completely different scales. A flat screen tv is a product marketed to make a profit from the American consumer by upselling them on a
luxury. An anti-aging pill is a promise of power and longevity that can quite literally change the world, assuming the recipient exercises some degree of power or political swing. Considering the issues I discussed with world resources, this only narrows the frame on who might be considered a candidate for the drug.
Look if you like the idea to lose little by little the control of your body because you're getting older that's your choice man. I think most of people will want to stay healthy and young. That's where making babaies really won't matter since you can enjoy life much longer.
I would like to respectfully submit that you've completely missed the point of this statement.
Furthermore, there's a moral conflict. When these problems come to arise, who's to say what the "limit" is on extending one's lifespan? How many extra years is everyone allotted, and who gets to set that rule?
It is absolutely something that
will be controlled. It is no different from situations today where individuals are denied life saving medication. South America has a history of government rationing with medical supplies. A similar situation could easily (and probably) arise in the United States or the European Union. A drug of this kind would be almost prohibitively expensive to distribute. Can you imagine the outcry that would arise from the masses if a cure for cancer was discovered- but it was limited to use by only public officials? An identical uproar will surely explode when the problem of aging is solved.
This is boring, you can talk like that because you doesn't live in a shitty country where you're starving or can't get any meds. This discovery may help most of the people in world with time if it came true.
The only thing we may fear is that we will stop making babies with time just like the elves in the heroic fantasy, because we will live much longer so we won't feel prpobably the urge to make a family. We may become instinct because of that.
Though, let's face it, if this discovery come true, the brain will still die by itself otherwise this discovery could then cure Alzeimer but it doesn't since the scientists didn't said so. They only talked about stopping aging. all this discovrery can do is allowing us to have a healthier body and live a bit longuer. Because if the brain stop to work, the body will just die then or we will become zombies ? XD
Well, ad hominem attack aside, I am "talking like this" because these are real problems that need to be addressed. Yes, there are third-world countries that lack a sustainable food supply and a robust medical system. These are
exactly the issues that systematic planning and discussion can help to reduce.
As for the heroic fantasy, that is exactly what it is: a fantasy. People are not about to stop having premarital relations any time soon.
This discovery is perhaps "the key" to battling back aging. It is not a cure. It is a vital step along the way. Anything not accounted for by this particular discovery will be taken into consideration and solved before the release of a final product I am sure- no one is going to give the time of day to a medicine that works only half right.
Also, "poor English" is not an excuse to neglect using a spell checker.
