With new headway being made in stem cell research, they can now grow individual organs and they say that people can expect to live to 150 years old or beyond. When your organs wear out, they can simply be replaced. What does this mean to regular people or what about injured workers? Nothing! My thought is that this will be controlled by the rich for the rich, I’m not simply stating this to rant, there are other reasons which I will get to shortly.

If only the Rich and Powerful can afford to benefit from this, what will this do for our civilization? It will destroy it. The people that oppress the masses and get rich from us regular people, at the expense of our well being, will live longer to pillage further.

These are the same people that are causing pollution and global warming and are destroying our planet so they can keep getting richer, with these people living longer, our children will not even have the chance to fix what has been destroyed so far. These are the people that create global policy, that decide to stop the injured workers from getting much needed aid.

Another reason to wonder about this technology being made available to us regular folk is simply that we could not afford to live that long. Can you say that you can afford to get that old? A lot of people will rely on Government old age security when they retire, think about the cost of that to our Governments, as it stands, I’m not sure there will be a pension plan when middle aged people are ready to retire.

In our society, Governments take care of Governments and the wealthy supporters of those Governments. When is the last time your Government did something significant to make your life easier?

When is the last time your Government did something to make life easier for the Wealthy? I can recall some tax breaks for the rich fairly recently, but nothing significant for the poor or the injured that can’t afford the taxes they have to pay. So why do we think that this new technology won’t simply be regulated out of our reach?
