Interesting read, this subject has always interested me. I can see benefits and draw backs to both sides. The human side wants to say yes, let me live forever, but then a bit of nihilism sets in saying what would it all be for then. I can still give meaning to things even if I were to live forever. I do think that a form of immortality is not that far off. With the rapid progression of our tech, we will soon be able to program out cells on a molecular level. This could prevent us from aging. I suggest everyone read some of what Ray Kurzweil has written, here is a link to his wiki.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kurzweil
