Biotechnology and people, who live forever
Could biotechnology sometimes make us live forever This is one of the most interesting things, which I have faced on the Internet? When we are thinking about this theoretical possibility, there are two ways to make people undead, that their bodies would be acting normally and one where the body would be in the condition, where it cannot operate itself but it can use robots as a middleman.
Even the last thing requires a high-scale advantage in biotechnology. And that's why those things are officially only hypothesis. So let's start to think about this kind of thing and begin at the last one, and then continue to the more advanced possibilities. And the question is would to another star travel the "vampire", what is created by using advanced nano- and biotechnology.
1) Hypothermia is a theoretical good way to increase the lifetime
In this case, the temperature of the body would decrease near zero kelvin degrees, where the movements of molecules are ended. That would help to deny the damages of the molecules and the structures of the brain cells. Then the brains of that person would be connected to a computer, and then this thing could operate on the ground by using remote-controlled robots. But this thing requires that the brains of this person would work.
This thing could be done by connecting brains to the Internet by using bandanna, and electricity would be conducted through them. And by using advanced robot technology this creature could operate in the middle of the people.
2) Switching body
The next idea is conducted from the "Boltzmann Brain", and the idea is that the memories and senses of the person would be stored on the Internet. And when the person would be born, there would be taken cells for the cultures.
Or the same thing can be done by using DNA-samples. When the person would get old, the new body would be cloned for that individual, and then the memories would be driven to that body. This is one of the versions of the philosophical thought about the brains, what are coming from nowhere.
3) The body what lives forever
Could the body live forever? The thing is that the DNA is like a computer program, and there is the programmed cell death at the end of the DNA. The problem is that the reason for aging is that DNA is damaging by chemical and electromagnetic stress. And the ability to fix the DNA is the key to living forever.
So the hypothesis goes like that nanotechnology can fix the damages of the DNA. One version is that the DNA of mankind would be pulled to the circle form and the cell-death will be removed. Then the nanomachines would be fixed the errors in the DNA. But this kind of thing would be a little bit too futuristic.
Why some philosophers are thinking that kind of question?
The reason, why some philosophers are thinking about this kind of thing, is that when we are thinking about ourselves, the problem is that the DNA is damaging. And if we cannot fix it, that thing makes us elderly. So if we could fix our DNA we can be travel to another star.
But the thing is that otherwise, we would be similar to other humans. That means we would not be like some vampires in the movies, because we would get the same injuries with other people if we would have that technology.
