Since Atheists are so sure there is no God (NOT THE POINT OF THIS TOPIC) let me ask: Why, then, are we still accepting death as an inevitability. Sure, Doctors TRY to prolong (or shorten desu) your life, but what about...after...?
I'm talkin', someone dies, you cut the fucker open, you replace all of it's organs save the brain, stitch that fucker up, give him some jolts and instead of a Frankenstein, That person comes back to life EXACTY as it was. No malfunctions, no deformities, just totally rejuvenated with entirely new parts? Why are we not investing research into RESURRECTION?? Why are we willing to die??

Remember, we assume science gives us LIMITLESS potential. We could find a way.

There would be two options
1. Ban children
2. Space travel
Otherwise the earth would be full in a decade
This is the thing: We talk about science being the key to everything. Who's to say we couldn't find a way around these issues of overpopulation? In fact, what if we cured disease entirely? What if we no longer NEEDED to hunger and gather food? OR, what if only certain people were GIVEN immortality?
If we are such staunch science believes, why are we not daring to change our life parameters??

I'm sure they'd find a way to make it work. The technology just isn't there yet. It will take decades at best.
>>55307574
There again, why is no one actively working out a tangible solution?
>We'd be full in a decade
>If we sail this rout, we'll fall off earth's edge and die!

We will be at maximum capacity sooner or later. It just can't be avoided.
>>55307574
And after that discover how to get into different dimensions as the one we are in is doomed from the start.

you're making a lot of crazy assumptions. you have no idea what you're even talking about. science is just a tool; if you dont understand how a tool works, you cant use it.
religious peoples' minds are so perverted by the easy answers that their holy texts so freely hand out that they become conditioned to think that everything in life can be accomplished by some magic, quick-fix.

He isn't really talking about what is possible right now or in any foreseeable future, he is talking about setting goals, about ideology. It's a valid question.
>>55308006
he doesn't seem to get that every moment that a human brain isn't oxygenated, it's being damaged.
asking why doctors cant just implant new organs to bring someone back to life is not a valid question.
>>55307350
>Realises there's no after life
>Now tries to improve humanity's situation
Fucking brilliant mate. But you gotta set your goals realistically.

Not even close. The entire human population standing shoulder to shoulder could fit in a well sized American city. And as Japan has showed us, people are perfectly capable of living in super dense population centers.
People only assume we have no resources because most countries are shit at organizing the resources they have, and third world shit holes fuck up data because most Africans are barely intelligent enough to rub two sticks together. If we organized and managed our resources better we could double our population repeatedly and be fine.
>>55310129
Yeah, because living like that, literally stacked on top of each other is something to look forward to.
why would you want to stop the great respite, anon?
>>55307350
The life extension movement is really big thing.

You should look into it.
>>55307403
We will need to put birth restrictions in place eventually anyway. Even without eternal life the world cannot continue to add another billion people every ten years without collapse.
well because honestly every time we try to avoid death
>stem cells
christfags pop up and protest.
>on a stick
>>55307350
You havn't even googled this shit. Scientists all over the world have been researching on how death might be cheated for decades (or actually centuries if you count philosophers stone type shit).
There's like a billion TED talks about transplanting brains into petri-dish grown bodies, artificially renewing brain tissue, transferring conciousness into computers, using the reverse aging process from certain species of jellyfish in humans, stopping imperfect cell cloning (the aging process) and the list goes on and fucking on.
You're not even trying to make a point and none of this is /pol/ material. This thread should be deleted.

>when are we going to learn how to STOP DEATH completely
Sometime after all the niggers and mudslimes are dead clearly.
