To Live Long, Or To Prosper?

Brian Patrick Green, director of Technology Ethics, quoted in Forbes.

"'What is most ethically concerning to me, right now, is the hyping of these things to an unreasonable degree, which creates hope in a falsehood,' says ethicist Dr. Brian Green of Santa Clara University. Living forever (or for a very very long time) is 'simply very improbable, so much so as to be essentially impossible,' he goes on to say. 'There are plenty of other things that can kill us.'”
