The human mind isnīt meant to exist forever. The amount of memories we can accumulate is large but still finite. Imagine if you had lived for 100 or 200 years and your mind cannot contain any more memories. In such a scenario I can only see two options.

- You sacrifice your future and live only with your past memory, thus making every new day practically meaningless.

- You sacrifice your past and forget your earlier memories to make room for new ones. But even then what is the point of living if you cannot keep your life and all past experiences will just disappear.

Both of these options donīt really expand your “life” only the duration in which your body can function.

Another thing Iīd like to mention is that I consider life valuable because itīs finite. If you want to accomplish something in life you know that if hesitate too long one day it could be too late to follow your lifetime goals. But if people would grow accustomed to the thought of having seemingly infinite time they may never see the need to do something in the present. Having infinite lifetime would sooner or later just inflate your time. Living for another year would seem less and less meaningful after you had lived for a couple centuries.

I can approve of technology which tries to guarantee that every single being can have a long and fruitful life, but I see no point in technology which attempts to expand the human lifespan to ridiculous amounts.
