you wouldn't want to miss out of the feeling of getting old.
I sincerely doubt that. There are no benefits in getting older.
What of the people that look after the older ones? They need to feel what these people feel. At least it would help them to be better at care-giving.
PS: Staying eternal is not a bad idea though :p
I'm not sure about that. One's experiences can be misguided - you may think X is best for you, but acutally Z is way better. You don't necessarily need to experience something for yourself to give proper treatment - or medicine would be pretty pointless.
Well, that's the nature of emerging technology. This is just like saying that the creation of VR is pointless because it simulates a computer-generated imagery.
Or maybe; the flight simulation by student-pilots would be pointless; because you can achieve the same result with a real plane.
Hm. Haven't thought about it in this way. Seems at least reasonable.
