-Imagine you have access to free “live another day” pills. For each day you take the pill, you do not age at all. You could take them every day for a thousand years and not age. You can still be killed by natural accidents, but you’ll stop aging. Every day you don’t take them, you’ll age normally for that day. There are no physical or mental or spiritual negative side effects to the pill at any level. Do you take the pill? Why or why not? Without aging many of the industries that exist will be decimated such as hospitals and an even more interesting thought would be how the earth would accommodate so many people. Our resources for energy and food production are limited, so I wonder how the earth would be able to adapt to much longer lives. Would you take it?
