Scott Wainner has written a post about supporting longevity here. Through his post he has tried to support the much opposed ability to control death and live long.

By living long one doesn’t mean to just live as a parasite or with useless identity. It is to live healthy and well for years or maybe as long as you can unless you meet a natural calamity or an accident. What if you could have all the strength you had in your 20’s for as long as you wish. Then you won’t like to die for sure.

This can be done by stopping the natural aging of our body cells so that we can always be healthy. Human cells are designed to get weaker with age. As you grow older your body also ages and you loose your ability to do things. But scientists are trying to stop aging and thus make humans live as long as they want.

In the current generation of gadgets and technology still people want to die. They don’t want to live partly because of aging and partly because of religious rituals and superstitions. The main 6 reasons why people want to die are listed in the article as follows:

1) They are highly religious, and believe that living is standing in the way of reaching their creator. This doesn’t make sense because any creator would have given us life and wants us to live, not to die. Christianity says that Jesus’ death was a sacrifice, something undesirable, not something to be welcomed and revered.

2) They use history (the death of all living things before us) as an excuse for why preventing aging, disease, and death, are ultimately impossible despite the vast number of “first time” accomplishments and breakthroughs that our species has had in the past 100 years alone.

3) They don’t like their lives and would therefore choose not to prolong them. Ultimately this is a solvable problem, given resources and time.

4) They are old and are decrepit, aging has already deteriorated their mind and body, and life isn’t worth living.

5) They are morally opposed to a longer life, citing social problems or population issues. Again, this is a problem that can be addressed – requiring the deaths of billions after some agreed upon period of time in order to make room for a fresh batch should not be a requirement to living.

6) They believe that aging is a given – that it is caused by time, not by cellular processes. In reality, it is known that aging is programmed into our cells as an evolutionary process.

But why do you want to leave the world and die?? Please support longevity. You can read the article here.
