Well,
>Some people don't like that and don't want to see a
world of medicine that falls outside the heavy regulation that characterizes
today's field, but it is what it is.
I think, anyhow, when somebody wants to have a tatoo, and is above 18, he can do it.
Everybody should be free to engineer his body the way he likes. If one wants to be a na'vi, why not? xD
On the other hand,one's children shouldn't be affected, so no gametic cell engineering without the urge (genetic diseases).
I've heard of A. de Grey, and I love his words: "Aging is the most wide-spread disease ever. It kills people. We spend much money on fighting illnesses such as Aids, Alzheimers, etc. But 90% [idk that number anymore] of the industrialized world's people die of aging. This way, it is obvious that we should put large sums into fighting it too!! "
It's very pitty that we don't throw in large money, because if we did, I'm sure that *we* could live at least 150 years. As he explained, when a medicine is invented that makes you live 10 years longer, in this time another medicine is invented that gives you another 15 years and so on!! (so in this case, the first medicine gave you 25 years longer, and because of exponential growth of technology, within this frame of time, another medicine will bee invented)
