Do you believe in this? Also, would you do it?

No thanks. When it is time to transfer to another body it's time to call it quits. I come from good stock anyway and should see 100 based on current advances in medicine.

I'd do it in a second, although this would be just about your mind and experiences living on: I don't know how frutiful immortality would be if your entire existence was based on conversation and learning, without the touch and interaction of deeper relationships.

In other words a nice juicy vagina. I agree.

Yeah, I was trying to be vague about it

Yes, I would do it.

When it comes down to it, you are really just your mind. Say you lose your arms and legs. Life would suck, but you would still be you, right? And let's say they put on totally working prosthetic arms and legs in their place. Wouldn't be as nice, but I think most people would be happy to go on living under such circumstances.

So why not take it further, and live in an entire artificial body, if it keeps you alive?

I think the 2045 estimate is wrong, though. I doubt this will even exist in 2100, when none of us will be alive, but my son Benjamin might.

Yeah, this was my next question: Do you actually think this is possible? I don't know anything about the science of it, but I find it amazing. I would also do it in a heartbeat. A lot of us take life for granted...

Didn't y'all ever read Tuck Everlasting in middle school?


Come on y'all.

No need to beat around the bush(pun intended)here.

I'm all for it, but making it to 2045 is a coin-flip for most of this forum, myself included. And they always underestimate the time frame on scientific breakthroughs. We are PFA, the way we run, I'm pretty sure the last member here will die the day before it is discovered.

[limitles]

This assumes that upon death your brain will retain the "you" that is your soul. IMO the brain is just a mechanism, like the heart and everything else that makes up the physical body.

[herbertstemple]

It will not happen.

If the Russians are working on it.

They cant figure out how to fold a hand.

Figure out Immortality?

They'll probably start dying sooner.

Russians.

lololololololol

There's got to be something infinitely more extraordinary than the short life we live here on earth. I believe we are all on a long journey, and dying on is just the next natural step in our spiritual growth. Though the notion of "immortally" may sound like nirvana, what does immortally mean when we pass on to a new dimension where most likely time has no meaning? I have no interest in extending my physical present here on earth--I'm ready to experience the next step and certainly do not want to be placed in some artificial, jerry rigged setup that promises to lengthen my life forever--whatever that might be...

singularity

will be a reality within 20-30 years, for those that can afford it

and then it will get ugly, if peak oil doesn't get there first
