We all live forever in the endless cycle of death and rebirth. It is those who have reached true enlightenment escape this endless cycle.
Living forever?

>Implying anyone on Veeky Forums is rich enough to afford immortality
>Implying the world won't go to absolute shit when the already super elite can now dangle the carrot of eternal life in front of wageslaves as the ultimate bartering chip for complacency and servitude.

Cmon, the super elite already do what they want
Society will change because people dont die, but not the way you describe it

She talks about going to a SENS conference as her inspiration for working on this. SENS is Aubrey de Grey's organization. He's got some videos on YouTube that are worth watching:

(You can find a lot more by searching YouTube for his name)
I've heard Aubrey de Grey say that the importance of telomere shortening for the aging process has been dramatically overemphasized, but in the article this seems to be what they are suggesting has been mitigated.
Whether or not he's right about how near we are to achieving it, he's definitely right about two things, which are that we're going to get there eventually and that 99.9% of the reasons people come up with that this is a bad idea are complete bullshit.

I wouldn't mind a few more years at a biologically young age. Being physically 25-30 until my 50s, and then living up until 140 max, then I'd be absolutely ready to die.

>not wanting to be reunited with your loved ones and ultimately become a perfect being once again
You'll never make it

Dude, living forever means you will watch your loved ones age and die. I never want to experience such a thing. Losing your grandparents, parents is already hard enough, but to lose a child is the greatest pain of all. I'm scared witless just thinking about it
