Erasing Death


What happens when we die? This is one of the most enduring mysteries. While almost every person has their own opinion, most would ultimately shrug and say, "We can't bring people back from the dead to tell us, so we will never really know." But that is no longer true. Due to a revolution in the field of modern resuscitation science, particularly over the past decade, now we can. Today, by the lexicon of modern resuscitation science, death is in fact fully reversible. Death can no longer be considered an absolute moment but rather a process that can be reversed even many hours after it has taken place. How many hours? Well, we don't know precisely, but definitely long enough to say that many of the 1,514 lifeless bodies discovered in the water by the crew of the rescue ship RMS Carpathia two hours after the Titanic had sunk could have been brought back to life if the Titanic had sunk in 2012 instead of 1912. This is not a play on words; it is literal. A person can actually be brought back to life after the heart has stopped beating and the brain has flatlined. The reason? The discovery that it is only after a person actually dies that the cells in his body go through their own process of death, which can be manipulated through science.

Yes, I don't think the day is far when we do away with death altogether. We are moving towards a future where we have greater control of ourselves, our bodies and our environment. Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Google have invested a great deal in life-lengthening and anti-ageing technologies. You end death by essentially stopping the ageing process. Once your cells stop ageing you should be able to live forever or decide the time of your death.
