I think if it happens like that I would be too upset. Poof I'm dead...oh well, nothing I can do about it no.

If anyone saw Curiosity's "Can you live Forver" episode... you would see that science is quickly approaching ways to extend human lives quite a ways ahead of our current life expectancy.
Adam Savage from Mythbuster's is the host of the episode as well.

The elite will live for a long time- like magic johnson but the regular people will get sick and die

If anything they should be looking for a way to make people live shorter lives.

They are, they are already shortening our life spans- Did you watch the video I posted? "Healthcare" is the next step in shortening our lives

That is one possibility... but I'd like to think the human element will show itself sooner rather than later, and we will all live for a long time.
What's better to the elite than having able-bodied 110 year old workers?

I think they need to start limiting breeding planet wide. These shows like "18 and counting" piss me the fuck off. No one should be allowed to have more than 2 kids for any reason. I don't care what religion you are do it for the sake of humanity as a whole not trying to outbreed the other religions. Ohhhh there we go again. Got me started.

They already kill lots of people before birth and some countries we ally with already enforce one child policyes where after your first child your not allowed to have any more. And they are also lowering our fertility rates.

I don't think dying will be so bad. I've read a lot about Buddhism and the concept of Nirvana and nothingness is only scary to people because human's just cannot comprehend it. If you try to think of absolute nothingness, it isn't really possible, because our brains keep a constant flow moving through us, and a persisting consciousness that we never lose. And if we're extremely lucky, heaven exists and then we get to go there with all the drinks and drugs we want.

Our medical professions are negatively affecting the natural occurring checks and balances that nature inposes on populations that get too large. Our amount of resources is fininite and soon enough without some kind of check we will consume more than we can create and then things will get fun. That's why things like the plague and Spanish flu came about. Luckily we still have war and that doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Dead doesn't bother me so much. It's the process that gets you there that gives me problems.

We allready do, it's called oil-
Oil caused the huge population boom
We live off the suns energy- the sun only puts off so much a year- think of as solar powered
We found a way to tap into the suns energy from times past- think of the oil like a giant battery- it is stored up energy from things from the past that stored the suns energy
Eventually the battery will run out- no more oil
And we will have to live off each years supply of energy
Unless.....
We set up mining opperations on the moon to harvest the H3

I'm thinking human ingenuity will beat the oil thing in time, we just haven't been sufficiently incentivized yet. I was thinking more in terms of livable space and food.

Yeah I totally agree, Obama should announce a huge new space mission to have us on the moon mining H3 he could put all the unemployed to work and we could be converted to H3 power in four years and eliminate dependence on forigen oil- it's about time we quit sending all our money over seas to Canada for there oil- Energy independance- eternal life
