bah..

the people who have life after death expeirences say that they are pretty much aloud to control there little world. One guy who had been clinically dead for 20 minutes in a book I read said

quote: It was not like anything I had imagined. It was like being with everybody you know, forever. no earthly pains or worrys. Simple hapiness and joy..control of anything you wanted. I would say, more than a dream, a real-life dream you can control that is not like a dream, but like living normally. They say I was only dead for a half an hour? It felt like forever. No real feeling or sense of time up there. And when I came back, I was told I had some things to do yet before it was my time. I was upset, but I think I understand now.

So no Hymm's, thank God

Hey, the whole thing is based on faith. Its somthing we will have to find out about after we die.

I already have the sensation of having lived forever, because I certainly cannot remember ever not existing. I can scarcely believe that one day I shall die.

Well said Bkeeba, that still haunts men worst fears. Thats why I want mine to be quick and painless . Hell I dont even want to know. Sleep would be the best.



But again, I honestly dont think I would want to live forever on earth. But I wouldnt mind coming back in the last days of man...to watch

Screw immortality, I would however, love to have X-Ray vision and be able to Zap people with a few volts from my fingernails.

There's no point living for eternity unless you've got someone to share it with.

If people lived forever you could probably invent some really cool sports and pastimes that took forever to play.

It's amazing how few couples survive 10 years, let alone 100 years or a 1000 years. LOL, what would you call the 1000th anniversary? Californium wedding anniversary?

Well, I think that to live forever on a Paradise Earth would be the reward for put up with you...

Live forever yes, but not on this rotten/greedy Earth.

IMO to be dead is the same as being asleep; it's just that you don't wake again, neither keep dreaming. I don't believe in after-life stories.
But I do on resurrection though...

only with some specific concessions. would i age? how injured could i be and still remain alive? how well would i heal? could i hibernate for years at a time if i got bored? i think i could handle it if it were along the lines of anne rice's vampire chronicles ... just without all the blood drinking ;oP

but i voted no. careful what you ask for.

Not being particularly spiritual, the English invented cricket to gain perspective on the meaning of eternity.

Even eternity with someone you could share it with would get tedious.

What good is eternal life without eternal youth?

Why would anyone want to live past the death of the universe/galaxy/solar system?

However, the physical limitations of the brain would mean that at some point, you'd have to start forgetting stuff to remember new stuff.

Well of course we'd have eternal youth. I would like this clinical immortality where I would be the age I am or a bit younger forever, would be far better. With this kind of immortality, you wouldn't outlive the universe or anything. I am talking about technologically possible immortality.

The brain thing. Well the brain is organised funny so it doesn't fill up like a hard drive but just forms more neural connections, obviously there would be a limit eventually, but perhaps technological means could circumvent this. Like conversion of the brain into an electronic format that could expand without the constraints of the skull. This would seem to eliminate you of form or perception, but perhaps with the right connection give you greater senses and abilities than you ever could before!

I read (don't remember where, long time ago) somewhere that our brain just uses about 10% of its capacities in a regular lifetime! So we are kind of prepared for a really longer life than our usual 70/80/90/100 years! Of course, there will be a limit, but I'm not really worried, because our brain is capable to store around 1000 years of info, if it doesn't get any disease (drugs, depressions, strokes, etc). And of course, that phenomenon called "going old" must stop too.
Don't forget that scientists just can't figure out why in the world our body just doesn't replace old cells with new ones at a faster rate than they die when a person reaches a certain age...

Well that isn't strictly true either. I have heard this 10% bandied around often, like a 10% full hard drive, but the brain just doesn't work like that. It consists of circuits and neural connections that are formed with new memories and skills learned. It's usage cannot be really quantified.

Hey, of course we can't count a neuron as a byte, but you can have an idea! Otherwise, how could you know what's the wheight of Earth, or how many water does our planet have! It's kind like this.

living forever scares me just as much as ceasing to exist... maybe slightly less, if i had an infinite number of things to enjoy then it wouldn't be too bad.... then again the arguement can be made that i've already died and this is all in my head to try to amuse myself for eternity

Actually, that's incorrect. We don't use more than 10% of our brain at any given time. We do however, use all of our brain. If we were ever to fire all of your neurons at once . . . well, you've seen a grand mal epiliptic seizure. It would look something like that. You don't wanna do that.

if i lived forever i would move out.. i dunno but for the start to an island that had no people on it so I can plan what to do... man that's cool....

Teleporters already exist. They are currently confined to subatomic particles, although I think they have acheived success with a few hydrogen atoms.
