They look terrible.
It remind me also the hippies that used to patch up their old jeans instead to buy a new pair.
Now if you think that this sort of things are natural then why 99% of people get rid of their own car, furniture and all other things that fall apart?
I do understand that many people regard their body as something that is part and parcel of themselves and that make sense as far as the body keep healthy.
After that when their body start falling apart most people wish to get rid of such a body.
You can do a bit to extend your life but not much.
The time and all other natural phenomena will play against you.
It is like trying to go against a rip current.

I don't know what all this has to do with the topic.

It has got to do because before to worry about religions one should worry if we can or not conquer death.
If we can you can bet that religions will invent one more dogma or false truth to keep the old wreck going so they will still be here with us.
If on the other hand we can't then there is no point in guessing.


Quote:It should (but apparently does not) go without saying that any effective longevity treatment would powerfully protect against, or eliminate entirely, the effects of aging and breakdown and damage. It may even be a matter of physical bodies not being necessary at all times, or replaceable if they are too damaged.


It is a question of keeping a proper parallelism among all the factors that create a human being.
If you try to put a small engine into a truck or a big engine into a small car it will not work.
At the same time if you try to put a mind into a body that is not in proper tune with each other then it will be a disaster.
As the body is made to last a certain period of time also the mind has got the same requirement so it want be an easy job.
But all this (according to me) will never happen because everyone of us will have to deal with the individual karma.
If a person will have to be reborn in an animal body because in this life did terrible things then there is no way that he-she will be able to extend his-her life.
On the other hand if one did very good things then he-she may be reborn into a different and more sophisticated dimension.
