Quest for immorality Presentation

Today there are many people looking for the quest for immortality. Some people in our world today, revolve around trying to find the key. Some scientists say within 30 years, humans could be immune to disease, unaffected by aging, and able live to 150 or even 1,000 years old. We could be medically immortal.

Gilgamesh went on a search for immortality because he wants to bring back Enkidu, his soul mate. Gilgamesh also wants to live forever. Its similar in todays society because people are also trying to find immortality. People today i think are scared of death and that is why they want to live longer. Or some people aren't just ready to die yet.

In Gilgamesh, Utnapishtim says that to immortal, is really not that good. Its not a great as you think. Today there are also people that are really against it. they say its bad because of religion, over population, and also because of using up all the natural resources.
In today's society they say that the five steps to immortality are:
-Consuming a healthy diet
-Having an Active life
-Taking supplements
-Rejuvenation Therapies
-And the last one is freezing yourself until you are ready to come back to life. This method is called Cryonics
