I'm not gonna go into details about the science behind it, besides the fact that we are approaching it rapidly. Scientist have said by 2020, we could see this technology come to fruition . A good article you can research on the Stanford University website . http://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs181/projects/2010-11/DownloadingConsciousness/tandr.html
Now, would you want to live on forever? Have your consciousness downloaded onto a computer, and installed onto a robotic body? What would be different? Aren't we basically doing the same thing now, but are consciousness was naturally "downloaded" onto a human body?
--For me, I feel like I would want to live forever. Ever since I was a young lad, I was fascinated by immortality. I realized from a very young age that life is too short to experience everything I ever wanted too. That got me into vampires. I knew If I could find a real life vampire, I could have a chance at immortality haha, I wasn't your normal kid.
What would you do with immortality?
I would live, simple as that. I would visit every city, every state, every territory, every country, every continent. I would love 1,000 times over. I would learn to play every instrument. I would learn every language. I would learn every subject. I would teach. I would live until I cease to want. Then I'd let my battery run to zero, with a note saying, "Plug me in, in 1,000 years." And I'd do it all over again.
