There may be an even simpler answer: HEAD TRANSPLANTS. It's already being worked on and will probably happen in the next decade.

The next decade?

I really could use one now.

Can you pick anyone's head that you want?

I don't want the same head.

Now, had you said "brain transplants" instead of "head transplants, " I would take that now.

Dangerous territory: me tawking about heads, ohgod.


If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

The short answer is that you and I didn't make the rules and the universe doesn't care what we want. The longer answer is that in a few more years, we won't have to die - except via accident, suicide and murder. It's only a matter of time before science conquers age.
`
Aging is caused by three things: Shortening of the telomeres each time a cell replicates, carmelization within cells (just like when you cook sugar in a pan) making them sluggish and dysfunctional, and accumulated DNA errors during cell replication. When we learn to correct or prevent those three things, people will no longer age.

There will still be issues. Brain cells, for instance, don't reproduce at all and naturally die in about 200 years. I'm pretty sure that in 200 years, if humanity doesn't exterminate itself, it will have a solution for that too.
