I've been following MedBed tech since I learned about the banded "Rife" tech from the 1950s. Briefly, it causes your own DNA to convert any sick cell back to a healthy cell through sympathetic resonance of frequency. Literally, this means the end to all disease.
Which inturn, means humans can live for hundreds or even thousands of years. Can you imagine how crowded the earth will be if basically nobody dies? The problems that would create?
So what is the solution? Only one...decrease the population. Makes sense doesn't it? Before releasing the technology we MUST get the global population down to a manageable number. But there is a dark twist.
If we are going to have a smaller number of people then who will do the work? Who gets to be the lazy bosses? Who gets to make the decision on who is in which class of humans?
Voila! Introduce a transhuman class that can be programmed and absolutely controlled. The classes of working people are then created by default.
If you are an elite today then THAT vision is your perfect world tomorrow. "It's a wonderful life"
In that world money isn't necessary. Democracy is a threat. But control must be absolute.
Folks, I think it all makes sense now. Think about it.
I, too, have been following medbeds closely. There are different technologies being pursued. True to what you say, there is an "immortality" medbed being tested, but, at this point, is causing psychological problems with the test subjects. It just isn't working like it should.
The other, more practical medbed cures illnesses, cancer, and is even rumored to regrow lost bodyparts such as limbs. It does have the effect of extending life, up to a limit of about 140 years or so. This does, to some degree, cause the problem you noted in your OP. But it also introduces some ethical considerations as well. For example, if one, ill marriage partner takes such treatment, ensuring longer life, what about the other partner? Will they "age" differently, if the procedures aren't performed at the exact time? This type of thing introduces the concept of choosing when one dies...as a result of how long one chooses to live a more comfortable life.
I have seen the list of companies involved with the medbeds. I have also heard that there are 178,000 already built and ready to be distributed.
They have not been able to regrow limbs yet. See prof Michael Levin and his YouTube videos on morphogenetics and regeneration
