Would living forever be a good thing?
An article from 2019
According to scientist Dr. Ian Pearson, immortality may be achieved by as early as 2050… For some of us.
Pearson expects we’ll see the beginnings of immortality within the next few decades, but (initially, at least) it will be far too expensive for the masses:
“By 2050, it will only really be for the rich and famous. Most people on middle-class incomes and reasonable working-class incomes can probably afford this in the 2060s. So anyone 90 or under by 2060. If you were born sometime in 1970 onwards, that would make you 48 this year, so anybody under 50 has got a good chance of it, and anyone under 40 almost definitely will have access to this.”

If we all lived forever then procreation would need to cease. Otherwise man would starve to death because feeding an ever growing population would be impossible.
Genetically altered to survive on solar energy?
 

What does longevity have to do with the meaning of life? Or do you mean only those who live a very long time have had a life worth living? Isn't it what you do in the time you have?? :unsure:

sorry to be a pedant, but anyone born in 1970 is 54 ... not 48

..even my dd who is 48 and was born in '76 would still be over 90 in 2050

Won't happen. They can't fix dementia in Elderly! They can't fix Arthritis! They can't even fix melting Ice.
The only thing ya can count on is that most likely the Sun will come out tomorrow, the day after, or someday.
