That's the spirit Tongue

No one is saying it's a sure thing, but there's nothing wrong with speculating about it. And whoever has the means to do it should invest heavily into it, since it's not exactly science-fiction, either.

Can we now talk about what we're going to do with our immortal lives? Big Grin

No, I'd really like you to address your extremely condescending remark to Thena here:

So I'm not saying you're a liar, I'm just saying you're a little naive.

She's naive? Seriously? Have you just chosen to overlook the scores of people who commit suicide? Obviously survival is not their primary goal. Or adrenaline junkies? When I jump out of a plane, my thoughts have nothing to do with survival, except maybe, "well, if I die doing this, at least I went out having a total blast."
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
