Before watching the videos Curiosity: Can You Live Forever? And Futurescape with James Woods: Robot Revolution, I supported any idea or technological advancements that would extend the human life. After viewing these videos, especially Can You Live Forever, I realized that the act of continually extending human life will wreak havoc on the world we live in due to the fact that having humans live for extensive amounts of time will eventually cause overpopulation problems, and damage to the Earth. I also did not think about the science behind extending life, and that it can create a race of “non-human robots”. I did not know about many of the technologies enhancements mentioned in the videos, and that these inventions actual exist in real life just on a lower scale. …show more content…

We made revisions until we came up with the best phrasing to suit our needs. We concluded that “a human is a unique creature that is born with a human organ system and a human brain which allows them to have a deep set of emotions where consciousness conveys what is felt. A human has a birth and an eventual death”. When thinking about these laws, we did not consider the fact that overpopulation will enviably occur as scientific advancements continue to extend life, which Ben and Ryan brought up in their presentation. This will cause a major threat to society, so in the future, I would add a law to control the population. Once my group presented our presentation, questions arose with what we meant by scientifically made human life in our second law. The law originally stated that; “Human beings must have a definite birth whether if it is scientifically or naturally made, and an eventual definite
