X-Message-Number: 17947 Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2001 00:46:29 EST From: Subject: Immortality: Why don'tmore people know??? I've been reading about sciences like biotechnology, nanotechnology, AI, and the like that many people feel will create near-immortality in the very near future. If this is the case, why/how don't more people know of this being imminent? By this I mean if many people alive today could potentially become immortal, don't you think this would be front-page news at least at some point? I'm not saying that it won't happen, I just don't understand how, if this is really coming, more people aren't aware of such, and why more mainstream people don't seem to publicize this? The only things I've found in the mainstream press on the topic is the possibility that people in the far off future (around the beginning of the 22nd century) will be the first generation with the possibility. Thanks for the info. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=17947
