Hi, eowl.
"Prevent bodies from aging..."
"Master biological engineering..."
"Recreate human organism..."
- This is work in progress, even though it's in the earliest stage.
"Current medicine only fixes problems, but instead of fixing, they should be busy improving!"
- I guess you mean "as well as fixing". We're glad to be fixed from time to time.
"Let mind exist independently of conventional body"
- The nature of mind/consciousness is not yet understood, despite numerous non-scientific claims. Maybe consciousness will eventually be made manifest independently of the conventional (organic) body.
"Important thing here is to make people understand that by no circumstances their mind should vanish just because their body malfunctioned."
- As the nature of mind/consciousness is not yet known, it's also unknown if it can persist in some form after death. Scientific reasoning, based on current knowledge, opposes the hypothesis. Unless, and until, it is known, there are no relevant facts available to "make people understand".
"Whole new race could be created in couple generations."
- Even if that were possible, society needs time to adapt to change. Such rapid, radical, changes would probably result in destructive instability.
"...all other areas of science are of secondary importance. PERIOD. Why? Because our lives depend on it and that's all we have.)"
- Interesting. Would you like to expand on that? Do you see it as, for example, the answer to over-population and global warming?
