Is possible for us to reach indefinite/near biological immortality? >the state where an organism doesn't die from aging (senescence) but can still be killed by injury, disease, or predatorswhat about stem cells use?
>>5090470no, because our dna shits itself on replication, thats why we age, youre a shittier copy of your yester self, thats why lobsters dont age, they replicate their dna perfectly, but they have other problems that causes them to die, in any case fix the replication issue and you solve aging, and cancer
>>5090471>in any case fix the replication issue and you solve aging, and cancerOk
sure but we'll reach digital immortality first. and even if that's not immortality in a true sense the agents which are digitally preserved will be very happy with it.
>>5090470In theory, yeswe need to find a way to improve DNA repair and and a way to restore telomeres, probably it will involve genetic therapy based on the mechanisms found on other animals that can do those things
