Can We Live Forever?

Can we actually live forever (or at least radically longer)?

Humans have always dreamed of eternal youth and life. Throughout history our desire for longer life spans manifested itself in religion and mythology. Today, our dreams of eternity are being explored scientifically. Where could sciences related to ending aging take our species in the future? Could the science of the 21st century lead to radical life extension?

Some Quick Thoughts About Life

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped on. I can’t afford one. So, I’m wearing my garage door opener.

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn’t like me anyway.

I was thinking about old age and decided that it is ‘when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it’

I thought about making a fitness movie, for people my age, and call it “Pumping Rust.”

I know, when people see a cat’s litter box, they always say, “Oh, have you got a cat?” Just once I want to say, “No, it’s for company!”

Employment application blanks always ask ‘Who is to be notified in case of an emergency?’ I think you should write, “A Good Doctor!”

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do — write to these men? Why don’t they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they deliver the mail? Or better yet, arrest them while they are taking their pictures!

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then, it dawned on me, they were cramming for their finals. As for me, I’m just hoping God grades on the curve.
