h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

just a reminder to me saw a thing on the telly last night about how to terraform mars - warm up the planet by seeding the atmosphere with green house gasses from our own planet. do this by planting self sufficient gas replicating machines on the surface. (technicaly this is polluting mars' atmosphere, but oh well)the increased heat would enable algae to grow, eventualy creating an atmosphere humans couls survive in. wonder how long this process would take?
actualy also saw this thing on richard and judy about this scientist lady who has created a method that may theoreticaly able human kind to prevent death by biological means. the process was some thing along the lines of replicating the patients stem cells from their own blood, which would in turn cure the disease that was killing them.
is this a good thing or not? would be cool to still be alive to be able to have flying cars etc. back to the future stylie but is it the destiny of the human race to be one of old age and impotence? will biological immortality mean eternal youth and fertility? and how gutted would u be if u died the day before they invented the cure for death its self? hmm.

I have very strong feelings(and personal stake in) both of your questions;
"the process was some thing along the lines of replicating the patients stem cells from their own blood, which would in turn cure the disease that was killing them.
is this a good thing or not?"
"and how gutted would u be if u died the day before they invented the cure for death its self? hmm."
I have addressed both of those in my ramblings.

complete acceptance
always prepared
