I kinda think that life-extension science is a bad idea. The planet is already heavily overpopulated, and women keep having babies. On a macro level, we need old people to die off at a faster rate than new babies are created, or women need to stop having so many babies. While both babies and old people are incredibly frustrating, old people can at least communicate and tell good stories. So, I think women need to cease and desist on the baby output. Have all the sex you want, but take the pill; It's a lot less expensive than raising children.

Ah, where to begin, where to begin? If women would just stop that nasty little habit of theirs, then there would be less babies to frustrate young males. It would be a lot less expensive for young males too! That way, young males could still continue to have all the sex they wanted with none of the bother of consequences.
Sex need not have consequences. You can dance around that whole "it takes two" argument, but it's the woman who physically has to incubate and give birth, so if they want to avoid pregnancy, they should take birth control. To be fair, I think the men should have to kick in the cost of the pill. It comes down to this... if you want to have sex, but don't want a baby, take the pill. Then, everyone can enjoy all the sex they want and the whole baby issue is taken out of the picture.

There are plenty of planets and moons in our solar system that we, if we put our mind and resources toward it can terraform to be habitible for life. We know basically how to do it we just need to do it. Yes it is expensive but ultimately humanity must grow away from earth in order for us to survive long term. Ever species that has ever inhabitited earth has gone extinct at some point. We can use our advanced brains to make sure we are the first of Earth creatures to carry on for ever.
Not to mention having expanded life spans would allow people to go to other Solar systems and possibly populate those as well.
Believe in god or not most of his miracles are explainible through natural things that happen. Sure he may have cause those things to happen. Perhpas heaven will be built by us. Perhaps eternal life will be accomplished through the miricle oo the brain god created for us.

I agree, but you have to realize that the more the Earth is overpopulated, he more it forces scientists and researchers to find other places for us to go. Remember - necessity is the mother of invention.

the earth is NOT overpopulated. the reason behind so many people living in extreme poverty is greed.
women need to? babies and old incredibly frustrating? cease and desist? take the pill? how about you cut off your wonkie-donkey to make sure noone in the future will say things like that?
and it's the scientists spreading overpopulation BS that need to die off.

Humans are high maintenance, they destroy too much of the world's resources in their quest for an easy life. We have killed off most of our natural preditors and eliminated many diseases which brings up survival of our offspring. I'm not going to say humans have no purpose here on earth, only that we have abused our world just to make life easier. It is better to extract the oil from the earth than to kill all the whales. We still are not even beginning to curb the environmental impact that man needs to curb. I guess we will have to learn the hard way how messed up we are.
