if you could have your dna spliced with a tortoise and gain 200 years more of life but you would gradually look more and more like a tortoise until at the end you were basically a hideous caricature of turtleman hybrid would u do it?

does it also delay decrepitude and/or have a serious impact on sexual function?

because my answer may be different if I potentially a vital 275-year-old turtle-man boning down with other freakish turtle hybrids vs. just persisting like an increasingly ugly and impotent invalid that watches the weather channel while waiting for death for two whole centuries

haha i forgot about those guys.

this will (of course) only be an option for the wealthy. otherwise the poors would abuse thier longer lifespan to make innumerable children and our planet would quickly be depleted of its resources.

I think as long as they suck out your consciousness before you die then you keep living, but unless your brain has a backup battery idk if you can die and then come back a life.

yeah thats the idea- tranferrence of consciousness to a digital planar fascitous registration, per se. my problem with that was about it being a copy, an instace of your self not connected or continued from the original. will i be able to place my digital digits into another digital persons bumhole? only time will tell my friend.

because your consciousness is still gonna be trapped in your meat-body. so if i am still going to end when i die whats the point of digital immortality anyways?

I guess people who knew your meatbody self can experience your digital copy somehow but it wont be you really, how could it be you?

the only way technology can bring true immortality is through replacing failing body parts until you are a robot with a human brain inside but your brain is still organic so even that part would eventually fail.

what i'm saying is there is no hope. no future and no hope.

happy tuesday everyone!

or you can cyber-ship of theseus your headbox by gradually replacing the brain with artificial neurons, made easier by the lack of immune responses in the CNS

assuming that consciousness is actually a dynamical system arising from the interaction of individual fuzzy subsystems it should be entirely possible to gradually replace the underlying physical medium while maintaining dynamic behaviour even in intermediate states
