| Animals would age too, I assume?
Would our bodies still be susceptible to infection and parasites?
If so, after about 70 or 80 yrs, humans would be a global population of suffering, incontinent, impotent, disease ridden, living corpses. Not an envious prospect. What a kick in the nuts it would be to people suffering teminal illness who have come to accept and in some cases welcome their death (definitely happens sometimes).
Assuming animals continue to age and suffer, the landscape would soon probably resemble a war zone .. with 'carcasses' (albeit 'living' ones) of all beasts eventually lying everywhere rotting away, but alive. What a way to spend the next 5.5 billion yrs (until the sun expires). |
