Read the passage carefully and answer the questions: i will mark you as brainliest . If we are to believe the latest reports from medical laboratories, immortality is within human reach. By the next century, the prospect of living up to 5000 years might well become reality. Does this mean that it’s time to bring out the bubbly and celebrate the conquest of the final frontier of science? Certainly not. There can be nothing more dismal than the possibility of living indefinitely. What makes life so fascinating is its transient nature. It is the knowledge that death can come calling anytime and anywhere which gives such poignancy to our lives. This finds expression in Wallace Steven’s wonderful lines: “Death is the mother of beauty; hence from her. Alone, shall come fulfilment to our dreams and our desires”. The idea that death is the key to life is also the foundation of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy of being. Leaving aside these philosophical considerations, the predictions of immortality are at best based on dubious science. The scientific fraternity rarely takes seriously the prophets of immortality, who say that one can turn back the biological clock or at least keep it constant. But even if we were to assume for a moment that the majority of humans will live beyond 5000 years, that would spell disaster for mankind. At a time when the earth’s resources are stretched to the limit, one shudders at the thought of an ever burgeoning human population. If human longevity is artificially enhanced, all governments would eventually go bankrupt trying to provide even the most basic amenities to their citizens. Those who harbour ambitions of emulating Methuselah are best advised not to tinker with the natural cycle of birth and death. Instead, they should savour every moment of life as death might be waiting in the wings. Answer the following questions:-1) what is the latest news from medical laboratories?
2) What is the most intriguing aspect of life?
