I want to be immortal. All of the arguments against immortality seem to be weak and poorly thought out. The most common is “I do not want to watch everybody I know die and be left alone.” Well boo fucking hoo. You will meet new people and move forward nicely. This argument really has no impact on me and it is easily brushed off like a speck of lint off the front of a shirt. Now that that little issue is out of the way the question of how to become immortal lingers. I see only two options.

Biomedical engineering seems to be the best and most practical options. Nanotechnology and nanobots would have to be involved in some way. Injected into your body they would seek out all things that make you sick and most importantly, the cell degeneration that comes with aging. Some amazing genius somewhere will figure out a way to make this happen and the aging process will simply stop and immortality will be available to all who seek it out. I know I would be in line with my pants already dropped, ass cheeks bared, waiting for this magical injection. No second thoughts and no hesitation.

The second option for becoming immortal is to being bitten by a Vampire. Although not as practical or possible as biomedical engineering, certainly a lot more intriguing and exciting. If presented with the opportunity to be bitten by a vampire, feel like asswater for about 3 days, and then become immortal, I would look the vampire in the eyes and say “bite me right fucking now you sexy sexy beast.” Biomedical engineering also comes into play with a vampire because it would be how a supply of blood would be found to keep alive and well. The needed product would be produced in a lab and would be in plentiful supply. Best option is to find a Biomedical Engineer who is also a Vampire. Will there be a need to stay out of the sun? Nope. Modern Vampires can be out in the sun like normal people. That is just the way it is.

Some people want to be a frozen when they day and stay in a cryogenic state until the point where a cure for whatever killed them is found. This to me sounds like the pussy way out. Cryogenics should be reserved for interstellar space travel. More on that later.

Yes. A lot of thought has gone into this topic and there is no question that if given the chance I would choose to be immortal.
