darkphoenix181 06/28/17 1:07:10 PM #1:	Once injected, you become immortal and immune to all disease. If you had cancer, it goes away and all the damage to your body is repaired. If you are paraplegic, you can move like an Olympian. If you lost an arm, it grows back. Would it be unethical to charge tons of money to sell this serum? Would having this serum be a human right? --- sigless user is me or am I? <cite>darkphoenix181 posted [p:881965611] in hypothetic...

No more wasting any money on health care. That money could be funneled elsewhere. Nobody can die? Military is now useless. That money and all those resources could be funneled elsewhere. No worries about lifespan or safety? Expect a huge surge in the desire for extra-solar exploration and colonization. Probably funded by the aforementioned now-useless military budget.

KogaSteelfang 06/28/17 9:13:02 PM #22:	Actually, in this case, it seems acceptable to overcharge for it. Assuming it'd be billed like any other medical treatment, you'd literally have infinite time to pay it off afterwards. I don't see a problem with that. If you're charged full price before its administered though, yeah, that's unethical Imo, and bad business since you'd make more money from billing them after rather than selling to the few who can afford it now. --- What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday?

If you were to outlive the planet, if the Sun were to consume it, you'd feel that pain. You'd endlessly suffocate in space if you don't drift onto a planet with oxygen. Even if you didn't need oxygen, you'd drift in the cold vacuum of space, alone unless you find a planet that has life. You might mentally deteriorate by then too, especially having outlived everyone you've ever met, everyone you've cared about. --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/starreaper13/wishlist <cite>StarReaper13 posted [p:882000798] in hypothetic...

Assuming it'd be billed like any other medical treatment, you'd literally have infinite time to pay it off afterwards. I don't see a problem with that. That is a very good point. I never thought of it that way. --- sigless user is me or am I? <cite>darkphoenix181 posted [p:882023189] in hypothetic...

That doesn't sound like very much fun. space would freeze dry you so wouldn't be conscious until you get thawed out --- sigless user is me or am I? <cite>darkphoenix181 posted [p:882023909] in hypothetic...

If the human population suddenly stopped dieing, the population growth would go up exponentially and we'd have more people than land to grow food.
