Robocop (2014) - "Show Me" - YouTube

I think this scene (robocop "2014") gives us something to think about as it pertains to the future direction(s) of saving and/or extending our lives.

Hey now, don't knock false hope. It sells! The masses will swallow whatever false hope you feed them. Kings and Religious leaders figured that out a long time ago. People want to believe.
