    Sure money is not everything and money can't buy happiness. But guys, where would you be if you don't have any money. Whether we admit it or not, I'm afraid this world requires money.

    I don't love money. However, it is potential energy. It buys you freedom. That is, free-time, the ability to live where you want, travel where you want, and to some extent, do what you want, without someone lording over you. I don't think it unusual to want these things. Now, if you love money per se, you probably love power, i.e., the feeling of being better than others or having more than they do.

    Cloning is possible, and if they can clone a sheep, they can clone a human. For all we know, it has already happened. My main point is that at some point in the distant future, humans will become more like machines, engineered.

    I'm not the only one saying this. Extremely smart guys like Michio Kaku, and inventor Ray Kurzweil are all saying the same thing. Millionaires are already using cryonics to freeze themselves with the hope that they can be revived some day.

    I don't know if you know this, but scientists recently put dogs into suspended animation for hours.........and brought them back alive. My point is that you underestimate technology.

    Look where we have come in the last 150 years. We went from horse and buggy to cell phones, space shuttles, supercomputers, and hypersonic aircraft.

    My point is quite simple. Now, and in the future, the people with the most money will be able to afford the most cutting edge technology. When age treatments become available, the super wealthy will have them, and the technology divide that exists today will become even wider.

    As far as "playing God" is concerned, I believe technology is God. But Money is also equal to it, because large amounts of money can buy technology. If God exists, he made some errors in the creation of humans. I think that with technology, we can make humans truly superior.

    Forget about PS3s, Iphones, and all that garbage. I'm talking about buying real technology, technology that can make you become more than human. Run faster, become stronger, live hundreds of years, maybe even thousands. The technology is coming, I guarantee it. It is just a matter of time.

    In any event, I know this much. When the technology becomes available, I will be ready for it, because I'm going to save most of my money now and avoid the peon technology and save for the big guns, nanotech, biotech, genetic engineering, gene therapy....you name it.

    I love things money can buy.



    My whole point is that you can't reset the bio clock. If we were to clone a 90 year old his clone could live for 35 years max assuming his bio clock was programmed for 125 years. This has been proven with all the animals that have been cloned to this day. Moreover, scientists came to a conclusion that primates are impossible to clone. They can't even clone monkeys, how could they clone humans?

    I would really appreciate it if you did more research in the genetic field.

    While technology is moving rapidly, there is no way any of this stuff is going to come about in your lifetime.
