If scientists found away to permanently stop the aging process, would this be an immoral thing to do?

You might be a little annoyed if you were in your nineties. But if you could pick a year when you could start (around mid thirties for me), then I’d take the pill.

A side effect of the pill is that your children live for ever and they never grow up. And then there is the problem of overcrowding. One Hundred billion immortal beings on the planet earth!.Most of them babies.

You’ve never had children, have you. There isn’t a parent on the planet who would want an eternity of changing nappies. I think it could be Dante’s tenth circle of hell.

Well, you may get to live longer and with a better quality of life, but you will not get biological eternal life on this side of the fence. Aim for the ‘real’ eternal life’ and be happy that the possibility is there for you…hmm, if you act your age.😉 Peace.

God created us to live for a while, then die.
Then lie for eternity with Him in heaven.
When we interfere with that (even just in theory) we are saying that God doesn’t know what he is doing. That His way for doing things is wrong.

No, our way of doing things is often very wrong. I would rather go to Heaven then spend a zillion years here on earth. On earth we have no idea what the future will bring. But Christ tells us how wonderful life will be in Heaven for eternity.

That’s the superior way.
 
Yes. We’re meant to spend eternity with God in heaven, not men on earth.
 
Wouldn’t be eternal. Something would eventually happen to kill you. Murder. Asteroid hitting whatever planet you’re on smashing your body into tiny bits.

Then how are we to understand that life expectancy is higher today than 100 years ago? In the early 1900 it was around 48 today it is 79. Yes lower infant death mortality accounts for a chuck of that, but we have been interfering in Gods creation since the beginning of time. I really doubt God cares how long we live.
 
To live forever? What would be the point? Where would be the joy? Where would be the expectations? Just wondering? Peace.
 
The right question is this - if we developed a cure for death, would we WANT to spend eternity on earth?

I doubt it. True, this life has its fair share of joy. Realistically speaking, however, we live in a very fallen world. The natural decay of the human body is one aspect of this, but we are also surrounded by numerous other sufferings and trials.

The human heart yearns for something greater. We should not simply seek to live forever, we should seek to live FULLY. Right? No one wants to languish in a nursing home during their final years.

As humans, we have a desire in our heart that nothing on this earth can satisfy, even if it were possible to eliminate death.

Isn’t that the traditional view of heaven, or the happy hunting grounds, etc?

I think after the first hundred trillion years, maybe it might start to feel just a tiny bit repetitive.

Aging isn’t the main issue. It’s dealing with the hell that is disease. Endless pain and suffering that comes with chronic disease. Who would want to live that long.
