How to protect the right for pimm when the costs are extremely high?

Posted by attilachordash on September 12, 2006

Now we have the introduction into the basic language of rights, duties and moral persons, and set the 3 hypothetic cost stages olawyerf the continuous regeneration treatment called pimm. The probable course of introducing pimm treatment into the real world is this: first the costs will be very high, then moderately expensive, eventually cheap enough that the state can guarantee it for its citizens. I focus here only to the very costly situation, because we will face with that condition first in real, 3 dimensional life within risky circumstances. Life extension supporters must prepare for the problems, when only rich people can afford partial immortalization and must fit pimm into liberal democracy . When the costs are extremely high the first question is: does the principle of equal dignity require us to make the treatment impossible for those, who can afford it? The answer is no, it does not, because immortalized persons are rational moral persons too, and forbidding their participation in the treatment would degrade them as morally inferior ones.

Three more questions arise:

2., can the treatment be permissible to those who can buy it?

3., could we justify the right for partial immortalization with instrumental premises?

4., could we argue, that the right for partial immortalization is a human right?

Conservative argument FOR life extension

Posted by attilachordash on September 12, 2006

Charles N. W. Keckler, a litigator and former law professor of Washington, D.C., tries to develop an argument for conservatives to support maximum life extension in TCS Daily. His main trick is to tell “revolutionary” change from “good, innovative” change, former opposed, later supported by conservatives.

“It is false that extending lifespan blunts innovation, except, perhaps, that of the “paradigm-shifting” sort. Conservatives are generally ambiguous about that sort of change, anyway. Therefore, I see no inconsistency in conservatives also seeking to preserve the true embodiments of the past, the repositories of wisdom and experience we ourselves will become if fate — and the federal government — let us.”
