PROMPT: The Price of Immortality
Imagine a future where medical advancements have made immortality possible, but at a significant cost. The treatment is extremely expensive, and only a select few can afford it.
Consider:
- Would you choose immortality if it meant watching loved ones die while you continue to live? Why or why not?
- How might society change if only a small elite could live forever?
- How would this change the value of other “big life achievements”?
- What ethical concerns arise when considering the allocation of such a resource? Should it be available to everyone, or is it fair to restrict it?
- Would immortality ultimately be a blessing or a curse? How might endless life affect one's purpose and motivation?

Thanks Anne for the great prompt!
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Not Aristotle, apparently, but we like the quote anyway.
ALL ARE WELCOME. The whole concept is to discover new ideas, so you'll hear things that oppose your viewpoint. Sometimes, it's even on purpose (devil's advocate). So, if you do not like being questioned, this may not be the group for you. Also, please note, we have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy on hate speech.
Thinking & Drinking is put on by Chisholm Creek Academy, but you don’t need to be affiliated with the school to join us! Know people who would like to join our conversations? Invite 'em!
If you've never tried this kind of thing, don't worry, just jump in! The water (and the wine!) is fine! We love meeting new people with new ideas!
