How can we fix mortality and what are the biggest problems with it? Even if you came up with a perfect bionic heart then it's not like many would survive the surgery

Anon you do not want to be immortal.
Imagine having experienced everything, tasted everything, seen everything, heard everything, touched everything multiple times. And then you'd be forced to decide for yourself to kill yourself if you had enough of life, rather than just letting Chaos do its job.

If you want to achieve happyness, all you need is to be dumb enough to not question the world you grew up in, and smart enough to be able to participate in it. If you get into that fine line you'll live a happy life.

Retard. There is no such that is "everything." In fact the same "things" become radically different within differing contexts, change and difference are fundamental to reality and novelty will continuously emerge.

Mortality = ultra rich and boomers set themselves up as eternal godkings and you and your descendants live and die under their rule.
You don't want immortality anon. Death is the only true equalizer we have.

You still see billionaires dying of prostate cancer, I have to imagine immortality is going to be a lot more difficult.

Times always change, so you will never experience evrything.
You are putting immortality in scope of a single lifetime, as if what is now would never change.

There is nothing to fix, death is natural, necessary and awesome in the word's original meaning. What a perverse thought it is to go on living indefinitely

I will never understand why thanatophiles are incapable of discovering this painfully obvious solution.

You can either tackle the problems of biology through fundamental building blocks like what they consist of, i.e turning soft carbon to silicon or hybridizing yourself/digitizing yourself into a cyborg, or you can keep the wetware running indefinitely by making clones for spare parts of neural transfers. One offers something beyond human, the other something more familiar.

if immortality takes place you best believe a generation of eternal gods will have it in their best interest to exterminate the rest of the human waste and take everything for themselves.

Quoted By:

Apparently permanent artificial hearts are possible now.

I predict that humanity won't arbitrarily choose to put their brains into computers, or become cyborgs, but over time increasing medical advancements means that people will eventually evolve away most biological necessities. So, more people will begin to be born without hearts, as the artificial hearts will allow people currently born without hearts to have more children, and so on and so forth until nobody is born with a heart. Same thing with insulin, and probably most organs over time. It will be our own morality which will be what drives us to roboticization.

I'm not so sure of this.... I don't see myself killing all other things if I can ensure it doesn't kill me or harm me... If you ever go camping out in nature (and I don't know you so have no idea whether or not you ever go camping) do you actively pursue and kill every insect and/or arachnid you see within 5 meters of your tent?

Sure, maybe you'll kill a mosquito if it's near you, but would you go chasing that same mosquito into the woods?

Point being, I'm not sold on the idea of immortal humans collectively being compelled to actively hunt and kill of all other non-immortal humans...

And what if other immortal beings did not agree with you doing this, and were willing to fight you over this? Keep in mind that you are immortal only in the sense that "natural causes" would not kill you.

That's because you won't be part of the population that gets immortality, anon. You're cattle.

>Say: "The Death from which ye flee will truly overtake you: then will ye be sent back to the Knower of things secret and open: and He will tell you (the truth of) the things that ye did!"

You will never cure ageing, you will never live more than 200 years and , you will die, you will be ressurrected, you will be judged.
