[QUOTE="Echohawk, post: 1066458, member: 9849"] [b]Re: Re: You Can Beat It?[/b] Hmmmm... I don't agree with this statement. Technology and medicine is developing rapidly enough, that it is quite possible that some of the people alive today will [U]never[/U] die. It is at least conceivable that we will find some way to store human beings in another form (non-biological) during our lifetimes, or perhaps during the lifetimes of our children. One possibility is that some people will be uploaded into machine-storage, and continue to live their lives virtually. While it may turn out that it isn't possible for humans to exist independently of our bodies, I think we have reached a point in history where it is no longer possible to state with complete certainty that everybody will die. Thinking along similar lines, sufficient research into the HI virus is being undertaken today to make me believe that there will eventually be a cure, or at least a way of keeping the virus in check so that it doesn't contribute to anyone's premature death. Since I'm thoroughly an optimist, I'm going to choose to believe that Angelsboi will be with us long enough to see both of these advances take place, and can look forward to a long future of role-playing in virtual space. :) [/QUOTE]
