Technologies that are helping us

Some promising projects involving robots, genetics, freezing, 3D printing and others are helping the prospect of immortal people become more realistic.

People are always looking for ways to not die. It is a strong survival instinct. Everyone wants to eliminate all illnesses and prolong life.

Although immortality seems to be an unrealistic thing, many scientists around the world are focusing every effort to 'defeat the god of death'. There have been countless experiments and research in this area to extend human life, even to completely eliminate death.

Bina48 is a robotic prototype that carries the personality characteristics and psychological characteristics of a specific woman, namely Bina - the second wife of Dr. Martine Rothblatt (the creator of this robot). Bina48 was developed more than a decade ago. The goal of scientists is to try to make it more intelligent and 'human'. Bina48 is loaded with information continuously and expects information to be loaded indefinitely.

In 2017, Bina48 became the first robot in the history of graduating a university program. This robot is one of the projects that aims to help people become immortal.

Another study by Dr. Ian Pearson - a futurist - shows that people are approaching the threshold of immortality. According to Dr. Pearson, there are many ways to live permanently, but humans can only do this by 2050.

Some of the methods he listed are as follows:

Reconstructing body parts: With the help of genetic engineering, human parts can be rejuvenated. In addition, scientists are also working on using to create human organs from living cells. It will help doctors replace aging or damaged body parts with new healthy parts.

Starting life in an Android body: There is another way to live longer, which is to link your mind to a machine and start living in the cloud server. According to Dr. Pearson, by 2050, you can easily rent an Android as you rent a car at the present time, and then transfer your consciousness to this machine.

Mr. Pearson, for example, now has sex dolls that are almost like humans, and they will become more "human" in the next 30 years.

 

Biomedical technology has made some progress in reversing the aging process.(photo: Independent).

Biomedical technology has made some progress in reversing the aging process. The Daily Express (UK) published an article saying that biomedicalists have succeeded in strengthening some of the proteins that protect cells from aging, as well as increasing the length of telomeres to slow down the speed. cell aging. (Telomeres are repeating sequences of DNA of a certain length at the ends of the chromosome. It functions to maintain cell life, keeping the DNA molecule healthy. The longer the telomere is, the longer it is. Chromosomes are better protected. Therefore, there is a lot of hope for future people to live up to hundreds of years.

Cryonics

is a great option for those who want to achieve immortality. Through the process of cryonics, people can be frozen in liquid nitrogen in the hope of revitalizing and defrosting safely. Although there is currently no evidence of the success of cryonics, it is hoped that in the near future, technological advances can help people revive organs within the body after a long period of time. storage tape.

Alcor Life Extension Foundation is conducting a bold experiment. They took a person's brain before dying to soak in a solution of protection. Preserving human brains requires a lot of complicated techniques, and according to neuroscientist Kenneth Hayworth, these are the necessary experiments to find a way to revive the dead.

Exchanging the body with an Android body

Dmitri Itskov, a Russian billionaire who founded the project 2045 . In this project, he is trying to find the ability to replace the human body with a robot embodiment. All content and specific characteristics of the person will be uploaded to this body robot.

The ultimate goal of the project is to extend people's lives to hundreds or even thousands of years. Itskov's overall ambition is to create a worldly paradise where people can free themselves to take time for spiritual and intellectual development.

Recently, Mr. Dmitri Itskov also revealed a sophisticated robot head that is his intellectual copy. It was designed by an experienced engineer in the field of robotics, David Hanson. This robot's head contains 36 motors and it is very complicated.

Itskov's next aim is to create an Android robot with full body. It can run, jump, walk and behave exactly like a human.

Transferring consciousness to an artificial body

A startup called Humai wants to help people immortalize by turning their consciousness into an artificial body. The CEO of this company, Josh Bocanegra, believes that his team will create a special generation of people in the next 30 years.

Bocanegra said: 'We are using artificial intelligence and nanotechnology to store data about conversation styles, behavior patterns, thought processes and information about how the body works from the side. inside out. This data will be encoded into many sensor technologies, introduced into an artificial body with the brain of a deceased person. Using cloning technology, we will restore the brain when needed ".

As we have seen, countless initiatives and experiments have been carried out, and they will continue to be done to increase human life expectancy. Many scientists continue to strive to make the impossible possible, and spend their careers to fulfill that dream.

Although scientists have different approaches, they all aim at a common goal of making people immortal. Only the future can answer this, while the efforts of 'perfecting old people' are still ongoing.
