Unlike whooping cough or viral fever death has no cure, but thanks to the latest medical breakthrough’s we’re closer than ever to finding one in fact some experts predict that we might live 20% longer in the next 100 years. Which means children can live until they’re a 145 years old. And what about immortality turns out even that’s not out of the question.
Today the field of longevity is far more scientific, new drugs like rapamycin have been proved to increase the lifespan of a mice by 30%. This drug works by slowing down the growth of certain cells that contribute to aging. And experts predict that it will have a similar effect on humans adding as much as 15 years to our current lifespan. But even with these drugs it is not totally proved that your heart or liver won’t suddenly give out before the time. But well there seems to be a fit for that too.
Just 3d-print a new one, in 2013, scientist made headlines when they 3d-printed the first living kidney and by 2018 the advanced the tech where they were printing human corneas from an ink made out of stem cells.
At this stage technology could soon bump the average global life expectancy from 80 to 96 and the maximum possible age is somewhere around 145. That sound’s impressive, but what if you wanted to live forever. That’s exactly projects like the 2045 initiative are trying to achieve. By the year of 2045 they aim to create an extraordinary human bodies that could in theory last forever. But there goal depends on something that is nearly impossible to acquire, a map of the human brain. So far scientist have only mapped the brain of a worm which has about 86 billion less neurons when compared to human brain. And that means that it could take generation to take the human psyche to a robot.
But businesses like KRIORUS are betting that that day will come, they offer to freeze your body after you die for a prize of $36,000 or just your head for half the prize $18,000 it sounds funny. But the idea is that one day in the future your brain might be transferred into an avatar where you live forever.
