The men and women who want to live forever - Ideas@Innovations - The Washington Post: "People have always dreamed of living for eternity, but it has always been a dream filled with Faustian bargains. Deep down, we want to believe that it’s possible to live forever, and many of us are willing to pay the price.
But maybe we won’t have to.
Medical and computer innovations are re-combining in wondrous new ways to make new life-extension technologies possible just as the Baby Boomers start to retire. Proponents of the Singularity now claim that living well beyond age 100 is something that will be attainable for everyone within the next two decades. Just as the Baby Boomers have transformed popular culture at every stage of their lives, they are now on the cusp of transforming the way we think about medicine and human potential."
