This is exactly how I feel about this. I hope this will help the people who are in need but I really don't think we'll know when to stop.
I don't like the idea of this implant to be necessary to compete in the future. Granted it is still far in the future, but it is still kinda frightening knowing just like AI this could go out of our hands anytime.
As fun as it sounds, I think aging is what drives humans to progress and evolve. So just in my opinion, I don't think classifying aging as disease is a good idea.
Yeah I agree that the chances of that are slim at the very best, especially after this covid situation. It really showed how straight up stupid and retarded people can be.
The sad thing is there are numerous ways to stop or minimize this at this very moment. The fault here is very very few people are taking it as seriously as it should be. I just hope that people will get some sense before destroying this planet.
The thing is, "increasing leaf area" is actually not the aim here. I'm from India and while the deforestation situation is not as bad as (say Brazil for Amazon Rain forest), it is still present in almost every country in the World. Agriculture does NOT mean "restoration". On top of that we should try to increase the restoration of native species of each country or every part of the world and not push non-native species just because they grow fast or take less attention while growing them. That destroys the ecosystem of that area because of something called as Invading Species.
I'm not saying that every action taken is wrong or anything, but in this case deforestation outweighs reforestation by a huge margin.
