"If you have read (or better, heard the cassette) on
the "Age of Spiritual Machines" (Ray Kurzweil),
you may recall his discussion about the bridges
to immortality (MIT Technology Review - article
mentioned in a previous posting). Ray is a
pre-eminent scientist holding 9 honorary doctorate
degrees, recipient of the 1999 National Medal
of Technology (USA's highest scientific honor),
and author of the best-selling book above.
Dr Kurzweil discusses the bridges to immortality,
stating that the VERY FIRST BRIDGE TO IMMORTALITY
was maintaining and preserving the human body
(as we do in CR), until the time when the Big Show
arrives (to save us from a mortal death)."
