An interesting article on nanotechnology. While the idea of living forever might appeal to some, there are significant downsides. For example, everyone would have to do it. Would you want to live forever while your wife, children, or grandchildren grow old and die around you? What happens if you have an accident or disease that left you in a vegetative or crippling state? Would you want to live forever then? There comes a point in time where the quality of life is simply not there. I know I wouldn't want to live if I wasn't enjoying life. Of course, if I could go back to when I was 21 and have all the energy and lust for life, sure I'd love to live forever. If I'm 90 and I don't know who I am, who my loved ones are and I'm just waiting for death, someone come up behind me and shoot me in the back of the head. But please, make sure that I'm really in that state. I don't want to be 90 and about to have sex or something fun like that and instead get a bullet in my head. :)
