But you dont expand your lifespan that way, you only pass on the building materials for another human but you seize existing still and the building blocks used in your kid hardly does any good to solve that problem imo

So since you seem to know things about this kind of stuff.. think they're on to something or not worth to put in too much hope into this just yet?

Or mad hacking skills to bypass the systems in place and do it hobo hacker style

This pretty much returns us to the dilema of abortions. Part of society deems it right and the other part deems it wrong. And I suppose the approach will likely end up being the same where its up to the individual to decide weither or not its for them. You can't possibly justify denying the whole society access to this. Sure it has the potential to cause bad but it also has a strong potential to do a lot of good. Hypothetically, if the government and society decided to ban this gene manipulation. And since that result would require public knowledge of this things existance Once it is in the air it only takes one country to not ban it and that could set everyone up for some really bad times. Its like if someone was just coming up with concept of a gun and then society banned guns everywhere and no one would have them. What if someone makes one by himself for himself.. then what?

Well is that bad though? I guess you would need some special means to tinkle your winkle but at least you get the oportunity to. Doesn't that beat the alternative of just "nope"? That approach I agree does sound a lot more preferable, robot body could likely be a lot less fragile too.. But I think we are a lot further from that than this gene manipulation stuff

I do wonder.. would this cell treatment stuff affect the brain too? I guess considering that they reverted mouse age just like that it should. But then that raises another issue of "what if you forget things that you knew before the treatment" Could backfire easily against individuals that can be manipulated without difficulty. Though I guess means of "re-remembering" could be thought of. Where there's a will there's a way

If it was for rich and powerful the poor, quite litterally having nothing to lose would riot and start civil wars n stuff And then there's this:

Yeah, the brain capacity also got me thinking.. Stargate SG1 had an episode where the entire town community got plugged into some sort of supercomputer that would store all their knowledge and they could access it wirelessly through an accessory on their head. While that may be centuries away.. could be a potential solution.. or could also be a way in for AI to dominate the world and use us as its car battery

Maybe we do not need to fix entropy though? Sure we can't live "forever" at least with our current technology set At the moment we live up to like 80 years without any major issues. If you told that to someone in 1800s they might call you crazy So maybe by the time this takes off (if it does) there's another reason why we can't live longer than X years.. But before we reach the stage where entropy is really a big issue (imo) there would be a lot more other challenges along the way

We'd need someone with proper science knowledge to tell us what would or wouldnt work from this but by the looks of things.. looks really promising Just the fact that science has advanced this far is absolutely amazing for me

after reading through it a few times my understanding is that it reverts those cells or something like that. With this, in theory you should be able to revert some human to embryo even As Centurius said we would have the best minds in the world alive for a lot longer and with the potential of human race becoming a multi-planetary species any and all worries of overpopulation should be rendered meaningless

I just found this rather fascinating, and wanted to share to see what others think about this: http://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(16)31664-6 Basically the study says that they have gotten successful results on reversing aging in human and mice cells You can find more dry information in the link. The way I understand is that they managed to partially reprogram the cells and in doing so they achieve result of not causing any tumors to form while reversing the cell aging, which as far as I know was the main issue with the whole idea I personally think this is absolutely amazing. I thought we were tens of years away from any of this. Mind blown.

It got leaked from a skype chat or something like that, basically "he said she said" without any solid facts. Only after microsoft has happened to mojang did the eula was officially introduced. Time for me to find a job and become another regular Joe I guess
-
It has been introduced after microsoft bought mojang, not before.

well, they've already issued emails to servers that are playing it nice (selling cheap stuff and so on, not overcharging) The thing is that the enforcement team is small and as a result he might have some time left before they contact him, but by the looks of it they are going after everyone
