Soon we will live almost for ever
indefinite
Why
Many answers to the “why”
1. Because we (many) want it
2. Because the emerging Global Brain will “expect” its “cells” to live as long as itself
3. Because it will simply happen
How
Many Pathways to Immortality
# 1 Stop the biological clock# 2 Cybernetic (artificial) organs# 3 Regeneration (re-programming)# 4 Stem Cells/Cloning# 5 Manufacturing organs# 6 Transfer the Mind to a Machine# 7 Extending the vector of life
# 1 Stop the biological clock
Many approaches to delay aging
• Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy
• Metabolism
• “Cleaning up”
• Telomerase
• Anti-oxidants
• Resetting circadian rhythms
• Etc.
# 2 Artificial organs(Cyborgs?)
# 3 Regeneration in-out
The study of regeneration is ultimately about how our bodies produce patterns – how our cells know where they are, and how they organize themselves to make organs.
# 4 Stem Cells/Cloning
# 5 Manufacturing organs
# 6 Mind Transfer is Key to Immortality
# 7 Extending the vector life
What is life about??
How do we measure the ‘quantity’ called human life span?
The final frontier
