Oh god when the Lifespan reaches 100 and people are still Stupid and squabbling over little green papers called Money.

I DONT. WANT. TO LIVE. ON THIS. PLANET. ANYMORE.

[Messes]

I say put nano-robotics inside me and i will live forever as they will constantly repair any cellular damage, replace dead cells, etc.

The queen has no real power silly. Just a lot of money.

At that point, I think the amount of children you can have will be limited, like china.

I think eventually technology will develop to the point where humans walk among the heavens as gods themselves.

This won't affect us, much, as we can't have all our cells genetically altered easily. This will cost a couple million dollars a treatment, at first, and will only be available to unborn babies.

Don't count on it. We'd all kill each other before real progress is made.

Which is why we should wait till we are in space stage and colonize uninhabited planets, to prevent this stuff from happening.

Actually most countries are expected to have a zero growth policy by 2050. Basically meaning the population is neither allowed to expand or decline. I would expect at this stage that people would have to apply with the government to have a child.

Except without all the competition.
