finally …
finally nanotechnology is here like medicine don’t always work and have side affect usually the benefits of nano technology 1 fit all size and application for medicine also it will be cheaper cause probably you can just keep them in you body instead of going to doctor always plus no more darn needle just take this pill and you feel better in morning cause nanonities are fix you up
They already did. …
They already did. The future of warfare shall quantumleap into warpspeed soon. Healthcare too, gadgets shall be integrated into our body’s.
Our brains shall be connected to the mainframe and the Matrix is just a haertbeat away.
I don’t see if this already happened and our waking time is a coming.
Is this all for real or are we living a virtual dream already?
Does this sound outrageous or is there the slightest possibility that I hit the spot.
Don’t let me tell you I told you so…..
@iching64 yep its …
@iching64 yep its clearly a conspiracy we need to nationalize all these companies. then they’ll be REALLY productive right? I mean good feelings are a much greater reward then money RIGHT?
What does this mean …
What does this mean for cryonics?
excellent work!
excellent work!
There is a good …
There is a good place to get Colloidal Silver Wholesale at SacredColloidalSilver(.)com They have 1 Gallon for only $99.99. The product is awesome and is getting great reviews. They don’t use any salts or proteins just pure silver and pure water.
once the military …
once the military get’s their hands on this technology we’re all fucked!~
The sleezebags who …
The sleezebags who control the medical-industrial complex only care about “early detection” in so far as it allows to them to start their expensive, ineffectual treatments sooner. Lifestyle, including the daily consumption of corporate garbage-food, is at the root of the big three: heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Kessler’s all wet on this one though he is normally a pretty astute guy.
Just look at how …
Just look at how many nearly fatal accidents people get into. If you factor in a disease rate as high as we have now, we’d be an extinct species.
There are medical records kept of deaths for up to 90 years and more, describing the then unknown causes of death. With what we know now, we can extrapolate what is likely to have caused the deaths. So I would argue that the 1/30 figure is fairly accurate. It could be even lower.
Your assumptions …
Your assumptions are quite inaccurate.
Our caveman ancestors lived almost as long as we do now. The problem back then was mainly the high infant mortality rate aswell as being wounded in battle or by accident, which would have left cavemen bleeding to death of their wounds. Both of those issues have now been fixed.
The common problem was however not disease. There are even aboriginese tribes today, that have not experienced anything resembling any form of cancer.
Cancer is an …
Cancer is an umbrella term for all kinds of tumors, growths, and more. 90 years ago, many people would suffer and die from then-unknown forms of cancer, not even knowing it was cancer in the first place. So the figure 1/30 is likely to be inaccurate. Longer lifespans that we have today also increase the likelihood of getting cancer at some point in one’s life.
Our caveman ancestors survived at much, much worse rates.
I don’t know about …
I don’t know about that. But I think if you ate healthy food, exercise etc. you would be much healthier and would need 80-90% less medical care.
For example 90 years ago 1/30 people had cancer, today 1/3 will have some form of cancer during their lifetime.
Is that coincidence, or does it have something to do with changes to our lifestyle? Because with those kind of rates, there is no possible way our cavemen ancestors could have survived without medical care.
People eating …
People eating healthy and exercising seems like an almost utopian condition these days indeed. You said ‘perhaps none’, so there’s room for interpretation. At any rate, virtually everyone needs medical care once in a while, no matter how healthy they are.
No need to call people illiterates and retards to appear less insecure than you really are
Where did I refer …
Where did I refer to utopian conditions? Is eating organic food a utopian condition? And I clearly said less medical care, not zero. You are either illiterate or twisting my words to appear less retarded than you really are.
Even under such …
Even under such seemingly utopian and ideal conditions, medical care would still be necessary.
If people would eat …
If people would eat healthy organic food, drink clean water, exercise and get enough sunlight, they would need much less medical care, perhaps none.
Perhaps you would/ …
Perhaps you would/could look exactly as you do now.
It wouldn’t work in …
It wouldn’t work in our current system of society no. Doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work in any that humans are capable of.
i think most people …
i think most people would prefer to live longer lives and when these advances have been made there will probably be a good solution to the things you mentioned
i kinda see this like abortion its someones own choice and nobody can legally stop you
and if it were to become illegal people will still find a way to get whatever makes you thousand years old
religious people already have a second shot at life so they wouldn’t want this and if they do they are hypocrites
Nah, Im still …
Nah, Im still ticking, although my hopes of living forever dwindeled while thinking about the social implications of imortality or 1,000 year lifes.
- Jobs alredy occupied
- Social Sicurity will be a on the budget.
- Extreem OVER POPULATION !!!!
Its scarry, but I’m still here.
dude are you still …
dude are you still alive or did you get hit by a truck or something?
The future is …
The future is brighter than many think. Medicine is heading not the path of nano tech, but the path of embryonic stem cell tech. nano tech represents the same tech we have at the present but drastically reduced in size, and embryonic stem cell represents a medical advancement we never had before. If I have to bet, I would say invest in stem cell technology for the future is heading that direction.
I really hate this …
I really hate this talking fly
I don’t like how …
I don’t like how this puppy talks and presents his easy-making-money and superflous book for iliterate spectators.
imagine how …
imagine how freakish u would look in a thousand years…
