Death Will Be 'optional' And Ageing 'curable' By 2045, Say Genetic Engineers / Death Will Be Optional By The Year 2045 (2) (3) (4)

Death will be optional by 2045 and aging reversible- Genetic engineers say There’s big news for life and death it seems. Two genetic engineers recently announced in their newly released book that dying and death will be ‘optional’ within just 27 years. And the aging process will be ‘reversible.’ José Luis Cordeiro, born in Venezuela to Spanish parents, and Cambridge (UK) mathematician David Wood, founders of the operating system ‘Symbian’, have just published The Death of Death. They strongly believe that immortality is a real and scientific possibility. And as a matter of fact, it could come much earlier than originally thought. Humans will only die in accidents, never of natural causes or illness, by around the year 2045, say Cordeiro and Wood. They also say it is ‘crucial’ that old age starts to be classified as an ‘illness’ so that publicly-funded research into its ‘cure’ can extend. Nanotechnology is key, among other new genetic manipulation techniques, the engineers said during the presentation at Barcelona’s Equestrian Circle. The process will involve turning ‘bad’ genes into healthy ones. It will eliminate dead cells from the body, and repair damaged cells. Treatments will occur with stem cells and ‘printing’ vital organs in 3D. Cordeiro, who is based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA, says he has ‘chosen not to die’. He further claims that in 30 years’ time, he will be ‘younger than he is today’. Aging is the result of DNA ‘tails’, known as ‘telomeres’, in chromosomes – of which every cell except red blood and sex cells has 23 pairs – becoming shorter, and reversing aging involves lengthening the telomeres. Telomeres become damaged and shortened with the passage of time. This process speeds up in the event of toxins entering the body. Smoking, alcohol and air pollution are among elements that reduce the length of telomeres, thus accelerating aging. Cordeiro and Wood believe that within 10 years, illnesses such as cancer will be curable. Also, that major international corporations such as Google will be ‘entering the field of medicine’. They are ‘beginning to realize that curing aging is possible’. Microsoft has reportedly announced the setting up of a cryopreservation centre in which a scientist is researching the possibility of cancer being completely curable within a decade. The engineers explain that, although ‘people generally do not know about it’, cancer cells are immortal. This was discovered in 1951. Henrietta Lacks died from cervical cancer, surgeons removed the tumour and kept it. That tumour is still ‘alive’ today. Immortality will not necessarily mean the planet becomes overcrowded, the scientists say: there is still plenty of room for more people on Earth, and these days, people do not have anywhere near as many children as they did in past decades and centuries; plus, ‘it will be possible to live in space by then’. ‘Japan and the Koreas, if they continue with their current trend of hardly having any children, will become extinct – within two centuries, there’ll be no Japanese or Korean people on the planet,’ Cordeiro says. ‘But thanks to these new techniques, there will indeed be Japanese and Korean people, because they’ll live forever and remain young.’ The cost of anti-ageing treatment was compared to that of the latest SmartPhones. ‘At first, it’ll be expensive. But with a competitive market the price will gradually fall because it’ll be something that benefits everyone,’ Cordeiro says. ‘Technology, when it’s new, is poor and extremely expensive, but it eventually becomes democratic and mainstream and becomes cheaper.’ The engineers say they have already been employing their techniques for two years – illegally. This stealth operation is ongoing in Colombia where there are fewer regulations covering genetic manipulation. Elisabeth Parrish, their first human patient, ‘started to see symptoms of aging and asked what could be done to prevent it’. Her treatment is ‘very risky and even illegal’, Wood explains, but at the moment is going well. It has not had any adverse side-effects. In addition to that, the level of telomeres in her blood is ’20 years younger than before’. ‘I want Spain to have a place in the world of these technologies and show that we’re not mad. It’s just that people still don’t know about them,’ Wood concluded. The Death of Death will eventually be published in four languages. They will be Spanish, English, Portuguese and Korean. The proceeds from its sales will be ploughed back into the authors’ research. https://1stnews.com/death-will-be-optional-by-2045-and-aging-reversible-genetic-engineers-say/

Remember Microsoft's Bill gates has of recent been investing much in medical research, vaccine development and GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms and Foods) |

Why wait till 2045. Lies from the Pit of Hell! Comprehensive Futile Exercise There is only one who can Kill and Make alive. That is GOD ALMIGHTY. This our generation reminds me of the guys in those days that decided to build a tower up to Heaven. They wanted to be at par with GOD. BABA looked from Heaven and saw that they meant business!

This is an old article. https://www.indiatvnews.com/science/news-will-death-be-optional-and-ageing-curable-by-2045-well-genetic-engineers-claim-so-440148 Published on May 2, 2018. Yeah! Many of these things are possible. The keys are nanotechnology and making the tails telomeres long like that of a youth. But there is a thin line between telomeres and cancer. This is a subject I researched deeply. And there are evidences that it is very possible. Yes, this very true, old age will soon be regarded as a disease. But alas, many will still want to die. Imagine how depression is so common now and people commit suicide. Really, the technology will be there, but people will still want to die. |

Some people wants to end the world before the time. It is obvious most scientists don’t know when to stop. |

Their research has caused a lot pains and damages to some household. Imagine a young pear who found everything to be learn through Internet and quotes like these falls and agree when ever they encountered little challenge that ought to be happens to any one in this life. Rubbish. I lost my younger brother few weeks ago, imagine he used the qoute as his profile picture on his twitter account before he died. Imagine lot of minds they might have gotten with their rotten heck belief.. So sad |
