All I can say is I want to be in charge of controlling the biomass. How do you get in control and who makes up the rules? I have a strange feeling this has been tried before and it does not work out so well for those not in control. Europe has to many people don't you think. How about India and China? Harvest body parts for those who can control their passions so they can live longer. If you slip up and get impregnateed we have spare parts!
Ofcourse there are ways to restrict the immortality technologiesonly to those, who are conscious enough not to multiply uncontrollably.
Once the people become immortal, which most probabbly will happen through stem cells, it will be a treatment, that has to be repeated. Those, who has fucked up and made a child, simply will be excluded from doing stem cells transplanted organ again. Genetic tests are good enough for drtermining who are the parents of an abandoned child.
There is also an easier way to establish control over the uncontrollably multiplying people. They, since having many children, live much poorly compared with the normal people in the same region. Keep the costs in the golden line, so that to be too high for the biomass and available for the people. This should be enough to prevent the formation of cancer in the society.
Third way is the repeatedly needed immortality technologies to be applied only to those parts of the population, who have a negative population growth.
There can be made combinations of the above, ofcourse.
Europe has not many people. The birth rated here fall down. Especially of the white race. Through birth control and self-consciousness, the white race in Europe has earned its right of being immortal. If you ask for China and India, they have parts of the population, that can control their birth rates, and a hudge uncontrollably multiplying biomass.That parts of the population, that cantrol their multiplication also has earned the right to be immortal. The same is valid for all of the countries, all over the world.
People, people people.
Get real.
Overpopulation resolvable by 2100.
Biggest threat to immortality, once established, may be accidental death...
Unless one can be in 2 places at one time:
a. in body
b. real time updating of one's being to jump drive
But if body is damaged, can one's "center of being" transfer instantly to jump drive &
then seamlessly from jump drive to suitable replacement body...???!!!
Regardless, real scientists & authoritative thinkers are the one's to look to for advice on this topic...
Who says, that the overpopulation is resolvable by 2100?
Overpopulation is hard to be solved today, in the non immortal society, because of the same uncontrollably multiplying biomass.
