Human Body 2.0 - Post Script - 11/02/06 03:13 AM
Human Body 2.0 describes a radical view of how humanity can win in its battle against death.
This year, more than 50 million humans will die - most of whom could stay alive and enjoy perfect health if 2030s technologies were available today.
Nearly everyone who dies has an active brain at time of death; their memories and thoughts may be a bit fuzzy, but tomorrow's science could rejuvenate these minds too. The brain is OK, but the body just quits working.
Nobody enjoys bad health, and death is absolutely the last thing anyone wants to experience. Human Body 2.0 talks about some of the technologies that promise to keep our bodies in perfect condition - indefinitely.
Personally, I see this as a great victory for humanity against its perennial enemy - death.
Comments welcome.
