今日挑戰句子
影片不是英文?We are actually already trying to prolong life with our current medicine. We're just doing it very inefficiently. Trying to stop aging from happening is not less natural than transplanting a heart, treating cancer with chemotherapy, using antibiotics or vaccines. Nothing humans do nowadays is purely natural anymore, and we enjoy the highest standard of living ever as a consequence of that.
我們實際上已經在試著用現代醫學來延長壽命,試圖阻止衰老的發生並不會比移植心臟、癌症化療、使用抗生素或者疫苗更不自然。現在人類生活中已沒有什麼東西算得上是純自然的了,然而那也是我們得享有史以來最高生活水準的原因。

Gracias Cyndi.
好長的一段啊啊啊啊啊!
不過沒有病痛一直活下去,聽起來是挺吸引人的,不過可能真的會「活膩了」…XD
而且真的實現的話…可能要參考電影「縮小人生」才能解決人口過剩的問題吧!

實際上,我們現在就已經在嘗試用目前的醫學來延長壽命,只是我們現在的作法非常沒有效率罷了!「試圖阻止老化的發生」並不會比「移植心臟」、「用化療來治療癌症」、及「使用抗生素或者疫苗」來得更天然。現今人類的所作所為已經沒什麼是純粹天然的了,然而我們卻也因此得以享有史以來最高的生活水準。
【心得】我只想安安份份把當下的日子過好就好~「再活100年」就免了。這樣下去,錢也不夠用,失業率更高,而且地球會塞爆。

Well, life extension is really just another phrase for medicine.
All the doctors are doing is trying to prolong life, and minimize suffering. The vast majority of healthcare resources are spent on the consequences of aging. Nearly half of your lifetime healthcare costs will be spent during your senior years, and another third during middle age.

即時可以用健康的身體活下去,也不會想再多活個一百年,除非身邊愛的人也都可以一起,否則這百年也是孤寂啊!
