I get what you're trying to say. Can we ever figure out a way to convert a conscious to an electrical pulse? I'm sure someone is trying to figure this out right now as I type. Imagine if you could upload a soldier's conscious when they are fatally wounded and download it back into a new genetically constructed body. Can we say a perfect soldier?

Dragoon?

Anyway why quit there... just upload your top ace's brainwaves into every fighter jet... or your best tactician into every aircraft carrier computer. How about the best sharp shooter as an auto-target for every cannon on every ship/AA gun

Why would one want to live forever? So you can actually see your kids amount to nothing later in life, or become wildly successful and not acknowledge you?

well, given the amount of time you would have if you were to be able to live forever, you would also be able to do lots of things, i.e watch a tree grow, watch your grandchildren have children, and do loads of stuff without having to worry about death by old age.

And if we manage to harvest quantum flucuation energy, then we will be able to get energy out of nowhere, thus being able to create a new big bang and defeating entropy.

Greed, self importance, fear of death.......a few reasons. I agree, though, to live for ever wouldn't be as "neato" as it's cracked up to be. Later in life when you're still in your prime, you'll realise that everyone you knew and loved is long since dead and buried, and you're all alone.

SWEET! Can we use something like this to shut the fucking noisy ass birds up outside my house? Then I really would be in paradise. No phone ringing with fucked up relatives needing money, help, bail. No more pain in the ass friends who only hang around long enough to try and take advantage of your kindness, and most importantly NO MORE FUCKING NOISY ASS CROWS IN MY FRONT FUCKING YARD @ 5:30 IN THE MORNING!

You do notice how much money it costs to repair the damages of a zombie outbreak? no!

How do you know?

Have you ever not existed, since you've been in existence?

Iunno, I can somewhat see the delight in living forever... Sure, it'd suck whenever your friends died, but it's not like you won't have time to make new ones. The only true allure I see would be all the science.

I'll tell you what, antifreeze also works to shut them up. If there's a concern of cantaminating nature with it, just throw some rice out the window and watch them explode from the inside.

Do you also have something for a kind of bird that's bigger than a crow (seagulls... noisiest birds ever)? They always wake me up at 6 o' clock during spring breaks and summer.
