All types of cancer, coronary artery disease, and all other lifestyle diseases, whether related to the rapid development of civilization or not, are decimating society continuously and ruthlessly. At the same time, however, the living standards of millions of people are improving, as access to medicines and other chemicals increases. It's significant that, as civilization progresses, we have lost certain important traits that previously allowed for greater contact with nature. Consequently, the human body's immunity has changed, which can become more apparent in adverse situations. Today, anyone, regardless of who we are, would not survive even a week in primitive conditions like the jungle or the Arctic if stripped of technology. We can be glad that human dependence on nature is no longer so crucial, although nature can sometimes resurface in the most unpredictable ways. Civilization ensures the safety of every individual to such an extent that human concerns are essentially dependent on simple financial functions rather than technological ones. However, the technology for survival, and certainly for development, doesn't exist for everyone. Despite progress, millions of people are starving and threatened by problems like parasitic diseases or lack of access to clean water. Tearing away nature's secrets in order to come closer to eliminating diseases that have plagued humanity since the dawn of time is difficult and requires years of research supported by enormous financial resources. Although dangerous infectious diseases such as smallpox have been eradicated and the spread of many other illnesses has been limited, some diseases remain on the rise, and humans are often forced to surrender because, due to mutations, they become resistant to most antibiotics, making treatment virtually impossible. Viral diseases caused by, for example, retroviruses are particularly dangerous because they often lead to complications related to the genetic code. Other viruses have the ability, for example, to attack cells of different species, crossing the interspecies barrier. Infectious diseases aren't the only human problem. Diseases that lead to organ damage are even more dangerous. These include atherosclerosis, where atherosclerotic plaque rupture leads to death; stroke, where oxygenation is impaired; and cancerization resulting from contact with carcinogenic substances, affecting the entire population. In fact, not all interactions between the human body and these substances leading to cancer are fully understood. Sometimes, it turns out that a person living in ideal conditions becomes ill. However, in a dozen or so years, when the situation is ripe, the genetic basis of cancer will be discovered, and the path to health and freedom from this disease will be opened for millions. Other modifications to the human genome will eliminate most or all of the problems affecting human health. However, it should not be assumed that this will be a simple and problem-free process. Ethical harassment will resurface, with voices raised that the genetic code, predetermined for human beings, should not be manipulated, that one cannot oppose the workings of nature and the law established by certain values, even if allowing such forces to operate will, and does, result in death. Even if the possibility exists, it will be rejected by conservatives, or at best, introduced only clandestinely for a select few. However, eliminating all diseases does not mean that people will stop dying, because they would continue to age until the fragment of code responsible for all these chromosomal characteristics is found, such as telomere shortening (with each cell division, telomeres shorten), code mutations, and others that cause cell death and, consequently, the death of the cell's owner. Another problem is purely social, because people are unprepared for certain issues related to the change in morality and the currently dominant psychological paradigm. Humanist values, and particularly the emphasis on people as central to their lives over religious values, are not always consistent with the Ten Commandments, making this a controversial issue. In the future, however, machines will be able to materialize?print entire human organs based on a computer program and implant them, replacing worn-out organs with new ones. A revolution is already underway, as we are witnessing, for example, 4D printing, which could lead to a radical change in the global situation in transplantology. Appropriate devices will scan the human body and, if necessary, eliminate dysfunctions in real time through non-invasive surgery using, for example, electromagnetic waves. Using cellular regeneration, it will be possible in the future to achieve complete cell rejuvenation?operations such as telomere extension and repair of genetic code damaged by various chemical and electromagnetic factors. One thing is quite clear: a different quality in medicine is already coming. The only important thing is whether we utilize new technological possibilities wisely, and whether we do not become overwhelmed by them, allowing technology to slip out of human control. If humanity ever manages to achieve the knowledge and capabilities that entitle them to break free from the dictates of natural laws, so that their lives become free from disease and other misfortunes that disturb their peace on Earth, they will certainly not remain helpless and will achieve their goal of ultimately eliminating the problems of civilization, with the only barrier then being space and the problem of its colonization.

Immortality is an ambiguous term, and often, its meaning can be interpreted differently. In the past, there were many people obsessed with the desire for eternal life on Earth. From the pharaohs of ancient Egypt to our contemporaries, such as famous figures, actors, and great leaders, complete happiness today lacks one element that even the wealthiest people cannot buy for even the largest sums of money: a life that must end. In ancient descriptions written by ancient prophets, now discussed in terms of religion and knowledge based on various philosophical trends, there are references to people who possessed the ability to live on Earth for any length of time. Some of them, as ancient writings indicate, were chosen ones and, like Enoch, did not experience biological death but were fortunate enough to enter a higher reality, or, as it is commonly said, were assumed into heaven without the separation of soul from body. Such stories are, of course, apocryphal, and this is clearly more of a religious than scientific approach, but they are irrelevant to the current Christian religion, which, as we know from religious studies, is also the ultimate revelation of God's will, which could be classified as nothing more than speculation. However, the times now approaching will not, in principle, correspond in any way to the biblical records in terms of their overall character, although for some people, the present reality and the future will always seem to be a projection of biblical prophecies. However, the times of highly sophisticated technology are beginning, in which ethical considerations will have to give way in many respects to the eternal dreams of humanity and the scientific and technical methods used to realize them. For many years, solutions in the fields of medicine, genetic engineering, and knowledge of the intracellular processes of human tissue have been sought that would bring closer the vision of extending life at will and enjoying its comfort in a world dominated by technology, where humans would move safely, working for the good of civilization while remaining free from the aging process and the constant threat of inevitable death. The fundamental question here is one that is essential, as there is no turning back: is this the right time to trust technology without limit, or to pursue the standard path, with hopes stemming from technological and civilizational progress? The generations that have passed have prepared the ground for this and future generations, and their efforts should not be wasted by retreating from the most ambitious goals we face today. Their work led to the current technological advancement we currently enjoy, and when we add our own contribution to this, we will achieve technologies that are considered impossible from today's perspective. What largely stands in the way of meeting these challenges are determinants and traits inherent in the consciousness of 21st-century humanity, patterns instilled over time, limiting humanity's achievement of high levels of development. These are also illusions stemming from perception, limiting the cognitive abilities and knowledge accumulation of the best minds of our time. This reveals the emerging pattern of the phenomenon whereby, while access to information has been multiplied by the development of a global network for information and data exchange, the blockage resulting from civilizational and economic inertia leads to a situation in which an excess of untapped knowledge seems to have the opposite effect than intended, slowing down access to the relevant data matrix, as relevant knowledge seems to be lost in the deluge of inferior information. Only by acting in a cooperative manner and playing a game based on clear rules, free from technological dead ends and their often disastrous consequences affecting the technological capabilities of civilization, can a significant effect be achieved, and not quarrels and a race for the smallest unimportant matters from the point of view of the good of the human race. Experiments conducted on laboratory animals and other simpler organisms demonstrate the positive effects of substances such as metformin and resveratrol, enabling us to gain ever-new footholds in the fight against bodily dysfunctions such as cancer, aging, and many lifestyle diseases, the treatment of which is currently ineffective or ineffective. The human genome and organism are a chemically linked structure of precisely defined chemical reactions, catalyzed enzymatically, via complex protein molecules such as transcriptases and polymerases, composed of peptides. It is a unique machine, where the environment of chemical reactions involving water and many substances reacting in specific chemical ways is at work. Many people have dedicated their lives to understanding this important topic, and even today, knowledge on this important subject still has significant gaps. Filling these gaps will likely take several hundred years. In the future, we will learn to influence the very essence and basis of disease in the body. Until now, most solutions in pharmacology, pharmacotherapy, and medicine have focused on symptomatic treatment. However, by applying therapies at the genetic level and providing the body with precisely the substances it requires to combat a specific condition, we will prevent the spread of cancer, eliminate coronary artery disease, and safely flush out atherosclerotic plaque from the body. And solutions will emerge that will allow us to cleanse and, as it were, review the entire body in minutes through irradiation with a specific energy beam, eliminating the need for hospitalization and medication. Restoring intracellular balance using this method will allow us to enjoy longevity, and the lifespan of an Earth resident will be measured in thousands of years, and this will not be surprising. Transplantology, i.e. knowledge about transplants and their use in hospital therapy, can also lead to the exchange of human organs, e.g. from genetically modified animals, in order to maintain vital functions. Although I myself would not like to carry a pig kidney inside me, but putting aside such prejudices, such transplants could save lives, especially when there is currently no human donor available. Transplantology can, and does, raise concerns, especially from a moral and ethical perspective. As we've learned, some marginal scientists are planning to transplant a human consciousness carrier?a human head. Leaving aside the ethics of such a solution, we're dealing with a technology that's seriously complicated in terms of transplantation methods, but not necessarily for the recipient, who, for example, has incurable muscular atrophy leading to death (dystrophy). For such people, transferring one's own consciousness and combining it with a new donor body diagnosed with, for example, brain death in this way seems to be the only life-saving solution available soon. Similarly, moral issues surrounding cloning human organs from embryos or the use of stem cells harvested from aborted human embryos remain significant. Human cloning is not yet clearly legalized anywhere in the world, although serious work is currently underway in some countries in areas related to cloning. Many animals and lower organisms have also been successfully cloned, and previously cloned clones have been successfully cloned. The influence of the Church as an institution and a pillar of Christian and Catholic ideology is crucial here, and this is happening on a global scale. Countries with a different mentality, such as China, lack the constraints of Catholicism, which allows them to engage more actively in cloning. There are also countries with such intense economic pressure in the stem cell industry and cloning technology, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, where such resistance seems to be verified by the increased demands of the market, awaiting concrete results, and companies in the genomics and biotechnology industries, which require revenue to thrive, obtain it by implementing sometimes controversial research and scientific methods. Another method already available, which could be used to achieve a state of indirect biological immortality, is hibernation and cryogenics. Companies already exist that offer their clients the freezing of the entire body or just the brain in liquid nitrogen. This would, in the hope that humanity would later acquire appropriate techniques, lead to the resurrection of frozen clients. They would awaken in a new world with sufficient technological advancement to cure their currently incurable diseases such as cancer or atherosclerosis the reasons for which they were frozen. It is also assumed that technology will be able to rebuild the body in the future, for example, from brain cells using cloning. Current freezing techniques, however, are still far from perfect, as ice crystals forming in cells during freezing penetrate cell walls, preventing vital functions from being restored after thawing, and frostbitten tissues decompose rapidly. Hibernation, currently being developed, would involve slowing vital functions rather than freezing them roughly, by applying only a low temperature, slowing the heart rate to a few beats per minute, and inducing the body into a state of hypothermia. In this case, the body's aging processes would be minimized.
