I think this method needs to be combined with the earlier fourth option of preserving the brain at the time of your death so that it can be downloaded at a later time. This clearly will require significantly more technology and understanding of the brain largely the same , but with proper storage techniques we can hopefully keep the brain in a state that can be extracted from later on.
The important component of all of these methods, for people living today, is the comfort they grant as your first current form is dying. How much will you believe you are going to live on in this new form?
This is an important point. Or day to day. Or year to year. Who are these techno-dreamers? Currently this is done through the vitrification of the brain, which involves turning the cryopreserved brain into a glass-like substance. Could it work? No one frozen to date will ever be brought back alive. As the name suggests, extropians are against entropy.
Given the formidable power of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which holds that the universe is in a state of entropy, these are bold thinkers indeed, with such colorful noms de plume as T. The goals of extropy are uplifting if not utopian: longer lives, more intelligence, greater wisdom, improved physical and mental health, and the elimination of political, economic, and cultural limits to personal development and social progress. Some bacteria can live for hundreds of thousands of years in low temperatures, and permafrost researcher Anatoli Brouchkov even claims to have found 3.
Seeds are much better at lasting a long time than the fleshy bodies we hop around in. Some have been known to germinate successfully after years.
If you were to make the transition you might even make it into the Svalbard seed vault, which in its icy chambers holds the seeds for the world's crop plants — an eternal insurance policy for global agriculture. Perhaps there is some truth to these stories of the residents of Hyperborea and Thule — if you went there you might not just lose yourself in the endless, eternal ice, you might pick up some cloneable traits in mythical DNA.
Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough, lover of all things Nordic, offers a practical guide to immortality, life extension and survival in the far North. Documentaries which explore music, history, science, visual arts and literature. Six classic works of literature we wouldn't have read if they hadn't been smuggled Unlikely music performances captured.
Hoping to live forever? Here's a rough time guide to dodging death You'll be able to use an android body instead of the organic one you just lost. For normal people on everyday salaries, it's more likely that you'll have to wait a little longer. You might be able to buy premium offerings on a private subscription, or you might get a basic presence on a network and be allowed to use an android body. Once the economics allows everyone to have 10 bodies each, there would be million people living here.
But if our minds are online, do we even need robot bodies? We could all just live in a computer simulation quite happily, according to Dr Pearson. It would be all virtual, so you could have anything you want.
