Herpes? That's pretty interesting :O

Well not naturally no, I figured with some sort of augmentations ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I think they were trying to use them against cancer cells at one point but I could be wrong

Well I'm 20, so assuming I don't get hit by a bus or falling space debris or some shit I'll keep this in mind

I've looked at that, and while I want to he optimistic, some of the information given there seems to be a bit vague. Like, all cards on the table, the mouse rejuvenation shit is IMPRESSIVE. But it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of actual info being given about it, rather instead it seems there's information being given on the benefits of it. Also, how far along is that really? Because I've seen many of the same information recycled in different articles over the span of a few years-. I'll gladly believe it if I see anything else about it, but when it comes to fields such as gene therapy/rejuvenation for an extended health span, or space travel, or bionic arms, I feel like it's easy to get swept up in the hype of it rather than actually understanding it. Personally, I'm the type to fully believe that all that fun scifi shit can be real- maybe even soon, but I wanna make sure I have my facts straight too.

Fair enough point, but let me return with a counterpoint: what if instead of a big, clunky plastic organ, we used singular artificial cells instead? Like, say, individual, simple nano-cells programmed to replace dead organic cells? Think it'd be possible to create an artificial cell with such parameters as to deter rejection? (Maybe if you dressed them up nicely and gave them a bouquet of roses to give the organic cells?)

I did, they are interesting :o I hope that goes somewhere, if not just to quell my fear of mortality '>->

I dunno about neuromapping- like, I'd obviously be for it, but it seems that the human brain is fucking COMPLICATED. Like, the only way that would be possible would be in a breakthrough with quantum computing. Not even to mention that it wouldn't be a continuation but a copy- I'd be more interested in replacing the other, less complicated parts of the body with machinery while maintaining the brain as is

Oh my god imagine viruses made out of plastic. I dunno if it's possible, but them viral fuckers are WEIRD

Fair enough, but I was thinking about how cell's degrade with age, y'know? If there was a way to print "fresh" organs without the sort of genetic damage, then that'd be great too.

Lmao, eat more vegetables and live forever or HAMBURBGOR
