Biological Immortality

[Lost]

The more years you have lived, the more you find out about the essence of life.

Do you really want to unlock such a thing? Do you think your mentality capable to handle the entirety of life?

No. That was a philosophical fail.

There are, well, many issues to having immortality, or even seeking it. Everyone in the world will try to find their own justifications for why THEY deserve immortality above anyone else. Even upon obtaining immortality, most people will stagnate, and waste many years - or possibly eternity - not doing anything. On a large scale, with many people with immortality, diminishing resources would become a larger problem as the population increases (faster than it does right now), and huge wars would be fought over land/food/energy, even more so than right now. This doesn't help that now, with the amount of cures we have for most diseases in the world, people would only die from trauma.

Obtaining immortality is a taboo because it disrupts the balance of nature.
