The philosophical thinking around regenerative medicine is interesting. On one side there's the union of opposites where without death there can be no life, without pain no pleasure, etc. Then there's the scientist approach which just wants to reverse engineer life and increasing life span/quality. I sympathize with both sides. I think someone like Kurzweil is doing too much and blinded by hope and that his idea of the future halfway sounds like hell but at the same time I think a lot could be gained by say doubling life expectancy and there's no need for any metaphysics.
