Letting people die =/= Killing people
In the same way that Inaction =/= action
So not at all?
Inaction is an action.
Making the choice to not do anything is still a choice.
It depends if you have an obligation to make a choice. If you do, then choosing not to take any action is an action. If not, then you are simply doing nothing.
EDIT: If you saw a homeless man bleeding to death, you didn't kill him, you just didn't save him. There is a difference, but I see where you're coming from.
And CODfag, firstly, this is ethics not physics, so that doesn't really apply here. Secondly, inaction is, by definition, the absence of an action.
Oh and just to clarify, I'm against what the OP is suggesting
I'm not suggesting stopping the cure specifically to cancer - I'm suggesting to stop the things that will make us immortal, although I couldn't think of any diseases (because I dislike health class and health-related most the time) so I just said Cancer. Heredity diseases - I'm sorry, but they just CAN'T be cured. Things related to cancer can be cured, we just haven't found it.
I'm talking about things like the result of Stem Cells in finding. Things like killing off every disease.

You are such an idiot. So you would rather have horrible diseases run rampant rather than a "Golden Age" of man?
Selfish *****.

What the ****? What did I say about horrible diseases? Did I not just cover saying I couldn't think of diseases else other than cancer? I don't even know any other diseases other than cancer (lots of types) so you seriously need to read.
If man is smart enough to make us "Immortal" I'm sure they'd have the foresight to predict what would happen if we could all live forever. Jesus.

>Implying all diseases aren't horrible.
Also, I'm sure you know more than one disease. No one could be that stupid.

I'm sure he would be very happy of his accomplishments. To re-insure that, I'd be sure he'd tell a lot of people of his success.
I meant 'man' as in the Human race. You are worrying over nothing.

COD: Once again, learn to read. I don't pay attention in health. I could care less about Health. I don't like life. So I don't enjoy life. What's the point to live? Experience what? Suffering? Just to live? Probably. Tell you the truth, our lives are pretty much meaningless.
I have another cure for accelerated human growth: nuclear war.
1) Just a few key point locations
2) Some buttons to be pressed
3) Wait 10 minutes
4) ?????
5) PROFIT!!!
Very simple, it's what our ancestors done thousands of times.
That or we apply the Alimentation Codex.
I'm against abortions.
Yeah but nobody ever listens to you because you never make any valid arguments. Like this one for example.
So true Soulfox, so true.

As far as I know, it would be impossible to kill off every disease, as they will mutate and evolve -- and so must we. We need to keep advancing technologically, medically, and scientifically so that we can combat new strains of viruses and bacteria etc.
EDIT: Christ alive CODfag, stop being so irritating and read what you're writing before you post it.
I comprehend completely his arguments, they're just so pants-on-head retarded, I can't believe he believes in them.

Then off yourself so we don't have to put up with your ****-posts.

You're feeding a troll. You know that, right?
And yeah, they are meaningless. They were not created by an intelligent life form, so they can't have a purpose. Unless you give it one.

Immortality is simply a matter of replacing all the senescent cells in the body, forever.
Exactly, which means it will never be a problem we will face. We'll never be 'near immortal' either. And even then, it'd cost way too much money for everyone to become 'immortal' which means that the poor people will get the short end of the stick anyway. AGAIN.

Yea, I'm jealous that you're gonna be one of the 90% of Nuclear Fatalities, probably from the First Strike, too. You're a goddamn idiot.
Alongside with you.
Then I WON'T be seeing you in Hell, as I'm not a retard, and retards aren't aloud in Heaven.
THAT was hypocrite thing to say. You just said retards aren't allowed in heaven, even people born mentally retarded. I hope you're happy with you being just like me who you just trolled. ._.

Read the bible, kids belong to God. Just adult retards go to Hell.
