change is the only constant in life and death is one of the changes. in many ways, immortality is already assured because the internet will remember you forever.

what i would want to do and what actually happens are two different things!!

i am sure that mankind will extend lives with cloning organs, bio engineering and exoshells. i personally prefer to be closer to nature. in nature it decides how long you live based on resource requirements.

just imagine, it is no longer survival of the fittest. it is survival of the richest. they will have resources, access to medical technology, buy organs and game the system.

but i sincerely doubt that living longer leads to more achievement. if it is one thing history has shown us, the candle that burns the brightest burns the shortest.
