Ah. That is were we differ than, I suppose. I'd rather die after 90 years, spending the last portion of that time with someone I love, than live forever, alone, after watching everyone I cared for die off.

I think my trouble with it would be: are my loved ones going to join me in my immortality? If I'm in the minority (if the immortality is just beginning its ascent into normalcy), than you have to make peace with seeing all the people you get close to die off. If they DO join you in your immortality, won't you get board after the 1000th year of hanging out with the same people? Especially considering only a small amount of people would be able to do it in the beginning anyhow. Plus, you may even outlive the planet you are on. And if there is nowhere to go from there...then what?

Immortality creates a whole set of other problems. The world population is increasing faster and faster. If people became immortal, we'd need to decide on a number of people to cap ourselves off at, otherwise we'll overpopulate the shit out of the planet. Then the problem with that would be, the only people who died would be the non augmented, eventually leading to a world made up entirely of immortal, aug'd humans. That would pretty much mean that the race would just kind of stop. There wouldn't be any new humans. Just the ones who've been around forever, unless some kind of malfunction happens or they just kill each other off or something.

Me too! ...so far... it needs more people. Nothing has comments or discussion on it. But the potential is there.

Physical space and the resources they provide. The global population will just be too big for its' britches and countries will increasingly bump shoulders until something happens.
