Your post r...That sounds like an interesting movie. Your post reminded me of another more recent movie though, "In Time" with Justin Timberlake. Timberlake aside, the concept of this movie is really interesting and mirrors our societies in some ways. In this world you stop aging after the age of 25. The currency is then time itself which is some how tattooed on your forearm. There are "rich" neigborhoods with people who have lived for centuries and "ghettos" where people who have to live day to day. It is not uncommen to see people dropping dead in the street because their time suddenly ran out. <br /><br />"For a few to be immortal, many must die" That is one of the most powerful quotes in the movie. <br /><br /><a href="littlecely.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">LittleCely's Blog</a>LittleCelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929712751778309698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865626244948309208.post-52573336241583252122014-04-29T06:45:01.589-05:002014-04-29T06:45:01.589-05:00in Doctor Who, Dr. Jack Harkness is (almost) immor...in Doctor Who, Dr. Jack Harkness is (almost) immortal. He ages, but at such a slow rate that by the time he dies he has lived for many thousands of years. Jack considers it, at times, a curse. And the Doctor thought it was unnatural. I tend to lean toward this feeling...that it just doesn't seem right. It's one thing to live long, but it's another to live forever. If you believe in an afterlife, like I do, then death, although scary, is not tragic...unless life is taken from the young..."before their time". A peaceful death at an old age is welcome.TheCyborgMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566379902847952987noreply@blogger.com
