15-25 years is a naively optimistic prognosis - even if we're only talking about the rich elites attaining any form of "immortality" through technology. It's not like right now rich people live drastically longer lives. We're nowhere near solving some of the biggest problems of prolonged life - like cancers. We can not predict what other unexpected obstacles scientists may still encounter. And it's not unthinkable that some of those obstacles may be impossible to overcome.
People have been talking about flying cars and personal jet-packs since the 1950's. That seems like much simpler technology, with a popular appeal, and yet we're still stuck in traffic.
We technically have flying cars already, the problem with flying cars is with the FAA. Imagine the chaos with flying cars.
Jet packs... well we sorta have that but again the chaos and the problem with the FAA. The FAA has issues with people having drones
so they will say no to flying cars maybe jet packs. All i am trying to say is with the elimination of morality and lets throw away the core issues
and look at it like so. If you have a form of being immortal this would have a affect on religion and its core beliefs. The beliefs being
death you go to either A or B heaven/hell, being immortal you bypass that and live.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.
