If humans could live for say 500 years, would we be better off as a society?

would this increased life-span gives us a more long-term outlook on the world around us?

Would it help to moderate the human attribute greed?

Or

would only the rich have access to the expanded life?

would life get worse for the poor?

would it amplify greed?

Technology can give us many things, but who is thinking of the true implication of such advancements?

Who are the watchdogs?

i had the same thought as smallelaine - about the overpopulation. but just nixing a few thousand is nothing. if she really wants us gone (and i suspect she might) she'll shake us off like so many fleas.

500 years. hum. i remember learning somewhere along the way that the greatest human advancements, especially in the arts and sciences, were made once people started living to be forty. it seems it is useful for that older generation to be able to pass something along to the younger one. but to be quite honest, the first thing i thought of when reading your entry was the vulcans! then i thought i was being silly.... cuz we created them.... then i realized that it doesn't matter. they live long and so do the romulans. they both display possibilities of what could happen were our species more long-lived. it is interesting to consider those possibilities and the many others that exist. it also seems quite futile to me at the moment - along with most everything else.

ok, fear has served humans well - i would never deny that. the fear i was speaking of was the kind wielded by those in power to maintain and increase their power over those who cannot or will not think, question and act.

as for your rather unique use of the term 'checkpoint' - why have you chosen to use that particular term?
