Immortality with Humans

What would happen to the human race? What if this were true and humans could not reproduce? What if by the time your human age is 18 you could not damage your cells internally or externally?

What if i ask you another What If question?

Uh... the human race would not die? Maybe it would evolve into a more advanced species. If they could not reproduce, the population might stay the same.

It would suck. If everyone lives forever, you could never truly get away from someone. Also, our advancement would slow down, and even stop at some point as there would be no practical way of testing things.

I agree with TSL3 . . . everything would be boring. There would be no advancement of the human race.

I disagree with that.

As soon as you give the opportunity for peace and prosperity, people can give time to science. More people will be interested, and they will have more time to advance their scientific ideas and theories.

Ah, but there would be no necessity to advance. We'd be happy with who we are. We need things like wars, droughts, and plague to keep advancing. It's a sad fact of life.

The world would become way over-populated, we would all die, simply because kids under 18 would get killed since over-18 are immortal.

Yes, Krizaz makes a clear statement that if you were under 18 people who were immortal would probably kill you, So the human population would go down and since half of our population is made out of children, half of the entire population would die, Also if you lived forever you would get bored out of your mind because you would probably have lived life to the fullest.

Because we couldn't reproduce we wouldn't evolve and we'd probably get romped by another species that can sooner or later I suppose.

No Zega, We wouldn't become overpopulated, Because of the fact that we wouldn't be able to reproduce, Then the younger ones under age 18 would probably be killed off by those who are immortal wanting money or other similar crap, The human population is mainly populated by children, So if all the children were to die. The human population would go down, and then some kind of species that evolved would probably drive us to extinction sooner or later.

just because you are immortal doesn't mean you can't feel pain

i do agree with there would probably another species would eventually enslave us

what i meant by the 18 is when you turn that you cannot age your body, wrinkles are due to cell damage
