Wording:
The task is to learn about new developments in medicine, what consequences such developments can have for the well-being of people and to discuss what it will mean for humanity if it becomes possible to live for hundreds of years.
Time:
hours
Introduction:
Why are some human beings capable of living beyond 100 years of age? What do they have in common?<br /> In theory we could actually live forever, if we just maintained our cells and organs, as we can maintain a car and change the broken parts.<br /> Now, scientists have found the specific gene, which improves the likelihood of a long life – and due to genetic inheritance, some even have three times bigger chances of living a very long life.<br /> New medical science is working with exchanging body parts – e.g. liver, kidney and heart with brand new body parts made from our own cells, so the new parts will be accepted by the immune system. This technology is just decades, perhaps even just years ahead.<br /> Even if we might wish to live forever, it is not practical – there is simply not space for so many people on this planet. In order to preserve thoughts and memory, some scientists are working with creating avatars, which are digital copies of a human being.<br /> All this is going on – and has been going on for years – with great possibilities for our future. Look forward to interesting films and readings about this issue.
