[QUOTE="Hand of Evil, post: 6852616, member: 371"] Work for life - you will be working for life, you would only take vacations. You become responsible for your own wealth, no more distribution of resources at your death. Population Control - there would have to be something to control population; say an annual selection that will have to die, maybe it is for nations/corps for rights to resources, maybe it is a fake war against AIs but population control would have to be addressed and maintained. You want people to reproduce, if that stops the race could become stagnate and fail on its own. Extreme activities would be more common as there would be a "lack of risk" knowing parts can be replaced. This would include things like the seeding of other planets, so what if it takes you 500 years to get somewhere. Growing pains - think the first few years of immortality would be those of chaos, religions would fall and raise, people may do crazy things until they get use to it but this can depend on how immortality is provided. Say it is zombie plague, you are immortal until something happens to your brain, you just have phases; first is the zombie death, you are the walking dead. Then the zombie mutation, where you start to become aware and mostly just an animal. Then the rebirth of yourself as an immortal. [/QUOTE]
