Noted, however, I'd also like to defeat Alzheimer's by growing sub components of the brain one at a time and then swapping them out one at a time every few months. So over a few years I would have a new mind as well as a new body, as long as the spark of who I am can somehow leap from the old and dying components and migrate into the newer components, who I am, that spark that makes me ME will live on, in some way.
Sure, I technically wouldn't be "me" anymore, but technically I'm not me I was 10years ago, life is in constant flux. The technology in this article is the best chance I have at immortality. People, please devote more energy to this, it's important to me. I want to be around to see the human race become a space faring civilization, I want to see how we will deal with the 2nd law of thermodynamics where the energy of the universe runs down to zero.
