So we become Daleks? Is this a good thing?
Maybe some of us would make better a B9 “Lost in Space” robot. Then we could go around saying “Danger, Will Robinson!”
Don’t know, just seems kind of soulless.

I remember several science fiction stories from the 1940s and 50s that speculated on the same premise. I don’t recall the titles and authors but “robotic immortality” certainly isn’t a new idea.
To: RoosterRedux
What a waste of perfectly good robot bodies that would be.

Sounds freaking exhausting. Besides, my consciousness wants to quit paying taxes and escape the communist utopia.

With every good comes bad. Do we really need a tech that could keep the Nancy Pelosi creature alive for eons?

The drug regimen for a transplant patient is massive. By no means would the brain or even consciousness survive any such radical surgery.
The attempts at immortality are nothing new. The idea of the fountain of youth springs to mind. They are all symptoms of a lack of faith in an afterlife.
What is unfortunate for so many is that their lack of faith in a Heaven will almost certainly lead to an eternity in Hell. Perhaps a little more work on the spiritual aspects of ones nature would be better spent.

That's what I think.
It would be devastating to learn that your new robot girlfriend was once your ex-wife's mother.

Perhaps a little more work on the spiritual aspects of ones nature would be better spent. I'm not sure it's so much a lack of faith in Heaven as it is an absolute refusal to go anywhere that requires obedience to God.
The Hell-bound don't realize it's Hell they are bound for. They think it's an orgy.

Do you really think Obamacare would cover this? Maybe for the Politburo, but not for us.
