>> but living bodies for the elite and ancient brains. Why only for the elite? The more we clone the cheaper it gets(i.e like on computers). I would definitely love to have some spare parts. What is the problem if the clone is brain dead or even brainless?

it seems "borg like". we really are at a major cross roads if we persist as a species, we will very soon be able to sidestep biological rules, for example why transplant into a human body, why not a gorilla, or a tiger, etc. if we had a farm of receptacles, we could transplant a living brain from an infirm, or boring ugly body to something cool, or powerful. when you become close to immortal doing this there is only room for so many, so it would have to be kept to a smaller group than say 8 billion humans.

  I think there is enough space and if we consider space exploration there is infinit space. Just count the stars. The main issue is that most of the people are working for short term goals due their limited lifespan so that's why the world is so broken. As far as your example with the transplant from an "infirm" or "ugly" body goes I find it absolutely the right thing to do. Just like people choose different clothes they could choose different bodies. Why would anyone want an ugly or faulty body?

  It's interesting to see this drive, for transplanting one's consciousness or whatever into another medium according to the notion that doing so would constitute some form of immortality and that thereby something desirable would be achieved or become possible, compromise on the medium. To give up that the medium could be an entirely synthetic structure in favor of it being a biological one seems to illustrate that sidestepping of biological rules is in fact a temporary extravagance and inherently parasitic.
