“A potential use for illegal criminals?”

Or the cartels will get in on the ground floor and start mass producing “bodyoids.”

When they digitize the human brain, they can clone bodies and put “the stack” into a new body at any time. Death, where is thy sting? Rich people will have choices of themselves at younger ages, older, or as fabulous athletes.

There was a Series about this, and it was awesome.

Altered Carbon, great series. I didn’t just like it I have watched it several times. I don’t know if the Science holds up, but it is good.

Agree.

I would rather die now, than use this approach to live 20 years longer.

Should there be such a thing as legal criminals?

This is where we are headed, and GOD is not pleased. Yet a society that accepts the murder of innocent life in the womb, will eventually accept the practice of using humans connected to machines so we can keep them alive to find cures for things like cancer. Call me crazy, but I have been through this already with abortion gaining acceptance since the “70”s.

I remember a man with two brains who was always on the lookout for a good spare body.
