Human Immortality: Exciting prospect or frightening dystopia? @ New Farm Library

9am - Thomas Loetscher will moderate this meetup discussion about human immortality and its consequences.

Key Points:
After a brief introduction to key concepts and based on the premise that some of us will eventually have access to medical technology that can stop and even reverse the ageing process, we will deep-dive into the implications of biological immortality for the individual and society as a whole.

11am (optional) - Drink and a bite to eat at a nearby cafe after library meetup.

Venue is the meeting room adjacent to New Farm library and its free carpark.

Recommended Reading:
Note that we won't delve into the science of ageing, a highly complex topic to which justice cannot be done in a 2-hour meetup. So, in preparation for the meetup, please do read this short AI overview produced by Gemini. It's a good starting point for further reading if you're interested.
