Extending Life

 

 We live about 80-100 years, give or take, and there are some billionaires who are spending their money trying to figure out how to live until 150 by making sure their organs don't age as fast.  Of course, aging organs is one thing, serious diseases like Diabetes, Cancer, Heart Issues are another.  Young organs cannot fight off ALL CANCERS.


But it's their money and they can spend it anyway their little ole heart desires.


My next question would be: why would you want to live that long in the first place, when everyone else around you are dying?


You have found the love of your life; you marry her; the two of you live together for 50 years, she dies and you live for another 60 years without her.


I mean that is just one example; I'm sure there are countless others.


On the other side of the coin, can you imagine what might have been discovered if Einstein or Stephen Hawkin had lived for 150 years?


Long before I heard billionaires wanted to extend their life by keeping their organs young, I often wondered why God created this endless universe, created time that extends on FOREVER, but then only give humans, his creation, 80-100 years of life, knowing that technology would sooner or later change everything.


It would seem that God would have taken our future into consideration when he created our present.
