This is an important issue because with the arguments presented, the human race can either immensely benefit from it by preventing death or cause widespread chaos from overpopulation. The pursuit of genetic immortality can be argued that it should have no limits when pursued, that it should not be pursued because of the chaos it will cause or that it can become be a great thing with heavy regulation.

One stand on genetic immortality is that people would argue that the best public policy position for genetic immortality would be to have no restrictions. It can be argued that science has always been for the benefit of humans evolving. For example, if genetic immortality was implemented, the greatest minds of the human race could then live without the restrictions of old age.

This should educate the common person on types of opinions on genetic immortality and what it is. People should question death and old age as a whole. Hopefully, it will give someone the call to go learn about genetic immortality from your local college, library or just on the
