[QUOTE="findingmyway, post: 137868, member: 12855"] I always enjoy TED talks! You question is ridiculous as Sikhi does not believe in the concepts you have mentioned. Before you ask anymore I suggest you do some reading. I have noticed from many of your posts that you always equate Sikhism to abrahamical faiths which does not make any sense as Sikhi rejects those very belief systems! :clevermunda: However, I would like to comment on the other points as it is so interesting. Firstly we do not know the effects of suspended animation on a cellular level so the longterm effects are not known. I have recently been playing with DNA in the lab and learning about gene therapy. One of the biggest lessons is how things work differently in humans than in animal models, often in ways not always expected due to a change in the biological system. Secondly, suspended animation is a medical treatment just like jump starting the heart so how do you equate that to immortality? Thirdly, Living longer is not necessarily a good thing. Many of my elderly patients tell me not to grow old as it is hard motherlylove The body continues to age and we are now seeing diseases never heard of before. Quality of life is more important than longevity. Fourthly, suspended animation does not reverse or stop ageing processes. If you know anything about human biology, systems degrade with time-not avoidable. We are a very very long way from stopping this as there are still huge gaps in our knowledge about these processes. When we correct one thing, something else happens to degrade the system in another way. Fifthly, I see the information you have about the jelly fish and hydra are from wikipedia again! I would be interested in the original journal articles as that would be real information. Hydra are very simple biological systems so maintaining them is not difficult. Humans are extremely complicated multi system organisms so the rules are completely different! Jelly fish are also quite simple biological systems. The jelly fish are not immortal in the sense they still have predators and can die from other causes. This cannot be changed. Same with hydra. Finally, as for the article you quoted related to telomerases, as I said earlier animal models often don't work as expected in humans. I've seen papers relating to this area of research and so far they haven't made it work well so are also looking at other options. Telomerases will also only work until you get a mutation or change in the DNA sequence. You are also presuming the rest of the system is still working well later on in the chain of events which is very naive. You are also assuming only 1 gene is involved in the process and this is rarely the case. Happy reading! :geekkaur: :book1: [/QUOTE]
