Utopia is completely attainable. Utopia, derived from the Greek words meaning no place, was always thought to be a model to strive for. Unfortunately human pessimism has never allowed Utopia to become a tangible place. Strangely enough it is this human aspect that is the barrier to a perfect existence.

             Physical pain is the most apparent in life. The range and scope of physical pain is astounding, from a mere paper cut while doing taxes, to dealing with cancerous tumors and slowly dying. One pain that we must consistently endure is that of simple locomotion. Motion requires energy and the bodies energy currency is Adenine Tri-Phosphate (ATP) (Biology 393). ATP is a very trick substance to manufacture. It requires mass quantities of food and loads of activity within the body. That need for ATP burdens us all with hunger, and the discomfort of digestion. Coupling those ills with the nuisance created when this inefficient system is thrown out of sync, which happens often to most, creates more suffering. The only solution? Phasing out this useless cycle.
             Opponents would put forth that this would be a costly matter to undertake, but they don't realize that on food alone people spend more money than this system would use. Using only a fraction of that money we could institute a system that provides us with essential nutrients without having to waste precious energy on ineffective methods.
             Imagine if one never had to feel hungry again. Then imagine if one never had to be sore, or feel any type of physical pain. A more ...
