RE: "The First Human on Earth to Live to Be 1,000 Years Old is Alive Today"
My dad just passed away from Alzheimer's. I sadden me greatly that is not with us anymore. My dad was a genius, he worked as a contractor, could fix anything. In the zombie apocalypse, I want to be with my dad or someone like him.
The reality of over population and Sci-fi aside, if people live 1000 years what do we do with all these people. How do younger people find housing and find jobs if people don't die or retire? Plus their food shortage, overcrowding and a question that how much more human can earth sustain?
First of all @stuntsworks, I'm really sorry to hear that you lost such an important person in your life. It sounds like he was one terrific father and a human being. You bring up an excellent point man. It is still a debate and an ongoing discussion.
Here's an excerpt from the same article explaining anti-ageing enthusiasts reasoning:
anti-ageing enthusiasts argue that as our perspectives change and science and technology advance exponentially, new solutions will emerge. Space colonization, for example, along with dramatically improved resource management, could resolve the concerns associated with long life. They reason that if the Universe goes on seemingly forever—much of it presumably unused—why not populate it?
