If people get wise when they get older imagine what would happen if people lived tripled our lifespan. In the novel The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson, the main character Jenna gets in a car crash and almost doesn’t make it but, her dad works for a company that created bio gel which takes Nero chips to create or fix a life form. Jenna had one side effect from this bio gel. She didn’t know the life shelf leaving her to live up to 260 years. If people had Albert Einstein, Mozart, and Tesla live up to 260 years our world would be a lot better. With Biogel people could eliminate diseases and illnesses passed down through genes. people can reduce the death rate from cancer. people don’t have to worry if people have a cure or not for someone illness because people can save them with biogel. people should be able to live forever because if people still had some valuable famous people could expand in culture. people wouldn’t have to bear the loss of a loved one because people wouldn’t be able to outlive one another. people can enjoy present life and not worry about our future. …show more content…
With Albert Einstein still, alive people could use his intelligence people could increase in technology. If Tesla was still alive he could have helped the government with his death ray but sadly never finished it. He could help the military increase on our weapons and help keep us safe from enemies. Mozart produces grand music of the classical genre that many enjoyed. With Mozart still alive people would have much more music and be more advanced in our instruments and music.With these geniuses alive it would be much more beneficial to our
On the day of October 4, 1951 a women by the name of Henrietta Lacks passed away at the age of thirty-one due to cervical cancer. Even though Lacks died on that day she still lives to this very day. This is because then Lacks was undergoing treatment for her cancer at John Hopkins Hospital her doctor took samples Lack’s tumor caused by the cancer. Researchers tested to see how long her cells could live while outside of her body. Researches were surprised to find out that somehow Lacks’ cells wouldn’t die.
Have you ever heard of Henrietta Lacks, Phineas Gage, or Douglas Mawson? All of these people underwent major struggles for the sake of science, but one stands out more than the rest. Henrietta Lacks was a woman who died at age 31 due to cervical cancer; her cells helped form a multi-million dollar industry (“Immortal Cells, Enduring Issues”). Phineas Gage was a railroad worker who had once shoved a iron rod into a blasting hole, which caused the rod to shoot into his skull. Gage faced side effects from this that led scientists to uncover details on the frontal lobe of the brain, and brain disorders (“The Man with the Hole in his Brain”).
We would be able to see each other equally and as a whole rather than small groups of people forced to live in the same
She points out facts about different methods of curing human imperfections, such as ageing, impotence and organ failures, and how the idea of ageing has evolved over the years: “old age was so rare in less-developed societies that people who achieved it were granted a certain amount of status and even a mystical cachet. Later, the elderly might have been mocked or isolated, but age was still not seen as an illness. It’s only in recent centuries, as old age has become more and more commonplace, that we have started to venerate youth; ageing is now associated not with fortunate longevity but with decrepitude and disease.” These facts introduce and support the idea that ageing is certainly a problem now compared to earlier in life and is in need of a cure. Zimmerman continues by presenting the effort of others, who are credited, who have put there life work into finding ways to better the effects of ageing, such as the San Quentin prison experiment involving the implanting of executed prisoners’ testis to promote “youth, health and vigour (Zimmerman 2014).”
Many people would die and new people
Many believe that humans have no control over the number of years we live, but is it possible for a person to speed up the process? Paul Zindel’s The Pigman concentrates on this question. In the novel John, Lorraine, and Mr. Pignati engage in reckless behavior, but these acts are the glue that holds them together. Their actions ultimately cause the Pigman’s death.
But despite my Grandmothers experiences and many others apart of this era I beleive that without this major era in history, things would of never improved. My grandmother
In nature, success is measured by fitness-- or the ability to pass on one’s genes to the next generation. Passing on genes to the next generation ensures a type of immortality; humans do not live forever, therefore, their genes continue on for centuries through their lineage. Henrietta Lacks, however, was the first person to become immortal outside of reproduction-- through cells. As discussed in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Henrietta was an African-American woman whose cancerous cells were extracted to create the first immortal cell line, more commonly referred to as HeLa cells. HeLa cells would become an asset in medicine and continue to exist in labs all around the world, long after Henrietta’s death (Skloot, 2010).
Our security would skyrocket and our attacks from other countries decrease immensely. We would be able to figure out how to start helping the mentally ill people, that are unable to help themselves. By helping them, we help ourselves decrease the likelihood of an inside terrorist attack. We as a country should be working together not against each other. We are killing our country because of our unwillingness to cooperate.

“The Chase” is about an adult chasing some kids, but Annie Dillard makes the story transition from throwing snowballs to “wanting the glory to last forever” and how the excitement of life at one moment can affect someone in the future to show that the excitement of life will always be there even when one is no longer a kid.

Finally, genetic modifying can allow people to live longer. You may think that this is good that people would live longer, but there some negative aspects to this. Life would be very boring of course, but more importantly, overpopulation would happen and humans would be in competition with one another since everything would now be limited. While some aspects of genetic engineering should appealing, they all most likely have a dark secret hiding within
My life would be incomplete. I'd be missing a great part of
There would be more melancholy due to lack of purpose in the world. Nobody would take notice of what anyone else had to say because they would not care about their opinions. People would be cold-hearted toward their peers, family, and friends. Cruel actions and feelings would be much more common in a society without respect. Without respect, communities would feel the need to justify themselves from the contempt and ridicule of the rest of society.
