http://coolmel.zaadz.com/blog/2007/1/what_the_bleep_is_transhumanism

And his credentials are better than mine, well I guess some of us might see who is right. 'We will be able to live to 1,000'. Do You Want to Live Forever?: As he ...

.. John Harris's paper, "Immortal Ethics," published in Annals of New York Academy of Sciences, 1019, pp. 527-534, (2004), is a short essay on the ethics of life extension. He talks about various points concerning this topic, and his discussion is interesting and thought-provoking. Basically, I don't like his extremism and ...

... But right there you have one very good reason why clinical immortality would be a very bad idea - the type of people who want to live forever are most likely to be the kind of people who could use a good squishing from the big Monty Pythonesque foot of the inevitable. ...

... If it were possible to live that long would you choose to? Barring moral implications, environmental implications and personal and religious biases on the topic, would you as an individual, be willing to invest in the fruition of this type of longevity? Here's a short (too short) lecture by Aubrey de Grey on this topic. Mull it over. ...

http://coolmel.zaadz.com/blog/2007/1/do_you_want_to_live_forever
... Do You Want to Live Forever? Very tricky question. Depends on what we mean by forever. But let's say forever = 5,000 years. My answer would be: Only if I can change bodies when I get bored with my physical body. Otherwise, it would be boring to be in the same body for hundreds or even thousands of years. It would be more like being sentenced in ...

... When I tell people that I plan on living for thousands of years, if not forever, I get a few different reactions depending on their beliefs. The majority of people simply think I'm crazy, but mainly they express concern that it's not natural, and that they would never want to live forever even if it was possible. ...
