Re: Immortality within our reach
who knows what the future will hold...i just want to stay in my body and live for 80-100 years. After that i think i'd be content to die in my sleep.....i don't need to live for 1000 years, but it would be fun. The world would be soooo overpopulated that way!

I'm sorry but this theory holds no water. It's a good idea and you're in the right place.
How do you replace the brain because the brain cells will die. I understand you're thinking but the body will be the only thing young. After a while the brain will die and you'll have an old dying brain in a young body. The good thing I see is that when you're brain starts to shut down and die, you won't be in an old body but a nice new kickin one.

Re: Immortality within our reach
^ ever heard of neuro imaging, or brain mapping.
http://www.loni.ucla.edu/ICBM/. one of their goals is to be able to take all the info from your brain and make it like a computer program that can be uploaded into a new brain. it brings up a whole load of problems though. like if you were 50 and got a new 20 year old body, should you look for some 20 year old girls to date or 50 year old ladies. the choice seems obvious but, what does someone with the life experience of a 50 year old have in common with a 20 year old? it would make like a whole new race of people almost, it'd be wierd.

Re: Immortality within our reach
^^^ You'd just have to find a woman with a 50 year old brain who also got a "new" 20 year old body.
 It may be fun to talk about but I don't see this stuff ever happening.

Re: Immortality within our reach
the information held in the brain is far too complex to be deciphered or stored by any computer today or in the near future. plus each brain has its own coding system so ud have to interpret info. from over a billion neurons. and each one can interact with every other so theres basically infinate connections to encode.

Re: Immortality within our reach
I dont see this happening. What about the concept of a soul?
The technology to do any of this is very far ahead. It would be better to do genetic engineering on the original body, not do a frankenstein project, that probably wouldnt work right anyway. The 50yr old brain might get alzheimer's or something of that nature, since it is still old. What happens when the 20yr old body gets to 50? make a clone out of a clone? There could be complications to this.
