Would it ever be possible to remain immortal?
With fast advancements in science, and robotis coming up with means to trasfer the essence of an individual to a computer chip to generate life-like replicas of people, does immortality really seem improbable (sometime in the distant future)?
To be as a god. Immortality. Vampiric fantasy. Create something built to last. Leave an undying mark on the earth. To trap the immortal spirit inside a machine seems absurd to me, as immortality is the uber-prison cell. To see generations live and die. To watch as things change, over the aeons, into something unfamiliar and horrible. Longing for a home that is forever obsolete. Utter fantasy. Our mortality is a blessing.
I dont want to be immortal. I have never understood why characters on TV, movies, books, etc, have to be immortal. Edward Cullen is near perfect but would I want to spend eternity with him (i.e. if I were Bella)? My answer is no. I think a normal human lifetime is enough.
