When are you morons going to put your scientific minds to something useful like, oh I don't know, saving yourself from the fate of your 100% inevitable death that will occur in less than a century.

What if you get seriously injured and then enter a state of permanent incapacitation? What happens next?

If you were immortal, you would have enough time to study ways to regain that ability. You'd have nothing but time

Death is a social necessity and none of us are special enough to morally be allowed to disturb the balance.

If you can someone periodically repair your dna for all your cells, then you're set.

Immortality is gonna be hard af. The brain starts to break down if you keep running it, Alzheimers...

Uploading is a whole can of worms. Besides do we need anti-hereditary elites in command of the economy for all time. Boomers (or the newer version of them) will hold all high-ranking positions... forever.

When suicide rates are at global highs is immortality really necessary? We should try and make a world people want to live in first and address the social problems first.

Good point but you are wrong in that "no one is working on it".
People are working on this technology, there is a whole spectrum of technologies under development.
