It still seems funny to me that people posting on this thread are still commenting on the "cure for aging" mentioned in original post from a purely biological point of view. As I mentioned in my last post by the time this kind of biological cure becomes a reality the Technological Singularity will also be upon us.
This breakthrough will not only mean that artificial intelligences will become a reality but it also means that we will eventually be able to merge our natural biology with technology. Sure that final transcendent leap may take a few hundred more years to accomplish, but it'll happen one way or another. The very concept of "immortality" will take on a new meaning when we are backing up our minds into new robotic bodies and/or computers for the rest of eternity.

Actually researchers are already growing brains inside motorized containers from human brain tissue in labs. This brain on wheels has learned how to navigate certain obstacles presented to it. Our brains are basically super computers with billions of under clocked processors so as we start to understand more about ourselves it might not be too far fetched to think that we could possible one day "back ourselves up" cylon style. After all the person we are is a result of our past experiences; experiences that are stored in our memory.
