No. Humans aren’t psychically able to be immortal without genetic engineering, which as far as the public knows, we don’t have yet. Certain death is currently hard codded into our genes. Since I wasn’t genetically modified as an embryo, I cannot live forever.
i feel like you’ve shifted the goalposts, here. previously, you said you didn’t want to live forever, now you’re just saying you can’t live forever.
also, we absolutely do have genetic engineering. it’s been a thing since the 70s. the covid-19 vaccine, for instance, was a feat of genetic engineering. furthermore, techniques such as gene therapy can indeed modify the genetic information of adults.
P.S. i assumed you meant physically, rather than psychically, but if you did mean the latter, then i have no idea what you’re talking about.
I can’t live forever. But I also don’t want to. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. And yes, we have genetic engineering, but nothing so far that would make humans immortal.
pushing off dying as long as possible, if done successfully, is living forever though? do you not see the contradiction in what you wrote?
