Preventing anyone from getting that medication.

Having the medication require the heart of a child.

Put a condition to the medicine: you have to prove you are valuable to society. Soon, 300yold genius scientists will create new sources of energy and overpopulation won't be a problem.

sterilization of everyone.

Given only to the rich.

Legalize murder.

Immortals can only live on mars or on deeps space expeditions.

Close all borders and prevent the medication from entering the country and closing all ties with outside nations.

Not give a fuck because it will not happen within my life time.

>>4427425
yeah, cause the other 99% would totally go for that.

>implying immortality won't cause the downfall of the human race

How are we supposed to evolve if people don't die? Eventually the universe will come to an end and we'll need the human mind to keep evolving in order to live. You can only become as intelligent as your mind allows you to be. How are we going to create synthetic universes where we can live on if we can't grasp the concept of how that would even work in the first place?

The body may be immortal but the will may not. How do you know that genius scientist will want to keep at it after 300 years? People work so hard for things because they know that time is limited.

7 posts in no one mentions colonizing space

keep it retarded /sci/

Charge an affordable, but still high monthly fee for the medication, add an additional 50% cost per child/grandchild/great granchild/etc that you have to discourage breeding. I'd say $500 a month for someone with no children.

Humans have stopped evolving biologically. The next evolution in humans will be an artificial one.

>>4427438
ur mum stopped evolving biologically

The cost of that would be staggering and take a long time. Though if people were immortal, you could conceivably send them on a 100 or 200 year journey (as long as the radiation shielding holds up) to a habitable planet.

Retard.

You don`t have even the slightest clue about what evolution is and how it works.

As long as you could switch the sterilization off at some point, I would say that's the ideal solution for overpopulation.
There's still the problem of the workforce with no older employees having to retire freeing up space for younger applicants. Who knows though, in 50-60 years maybe robots will be doing all the work anyways and people live leisurely lives.

wouldn't happen. humans may be immortal but the technology to reach another life sustaining planet just isn't there. You would need a ship large enough to be self sustaining for hundreds of years, while also containing all the tools and resources to develop the medicine for everyone on board, and it would also have to carry enough spare parts and resources to repair the ship as it will have considerable wear-and-tear and damage from periodic space junk.

\frac{x^5}{5} - \frac{x^4}{4} + \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^2}{2} + x

In a hundred years, first world humans will be immortal, have their needs met through robot servants, currency as we know it won't exist and through implants, people will contain the sum of human knowledge in their heads. At that point the species will probably head downhill.

evolution doesn't exist if you intelligently control the outcome. Humans can no longer evlove, they can only transcend and this transcendence is called the singularity; it is fast approaching.

>>4427455
>evolution doesn't exist if you intelligently control the outcome
Bullshit. It doesn't suddenly stop being evolution if you're aware of, or directing the changes. MRSA didn't NOT evolve because it was human action that created it.

>>4427459
But are/will humans evolve to counteract MRSA? Or will we develop external antibiotics to destroy it, without altering our genotype?

>implying humans intelligently controlled the evolution of drug resistant bugs

that was more of an accident than anything.

>>4427472
Those are both wrong.
