In one word: entropy.

You can’t roll back time (sorry Cher) on a body, remove scars and knowledge, there is no possibility of brain in a box - Plato’s Cave is rubbish. There used to be speculation we could grow gills and let men swim or grow muscles better than we have - 50 years ago. Still not even close, and due to simple entropy we will all die even if we can extend our body another 50 years. It still falls apart faster than it regenerates

Lucy, I appreciate the research work that feeds your articles, and you offer your readers. I have lately been reading one of Hinduism sacred books -a story originated 10,000 years ago- and I am stunned by the parallels. The rich and complex Hindu mythology predicts the end of civilization when a group of 100 men that were gestated and born outside of a mother's womb start a war that seeks to uphold greed, unfair accumulation of power, humiliation of women, and an illusion that men are invincible.
