Actually i think we could all be immortal if we were sensible and if we wanted too.
1)i'm only talking about bio-immortality not indestructibility. People will still die.
2)It is only realistic if we get rid of the elites who eat all the pie.
3)With immortality comes responsibility to be self sufficient.
4)with the amount we spend on weapons globally we could feed everyone anyway until we got off planet and established colonies.
5)A one child limit is necessary, pending forfeiture of immortality if it is exceeded.(unfortunate but necessary until we can get off planet)
6)what we want to avoid at all costs is the elite getting hold of this tech and keeping it to themselves. the tyrant would be impossible to defeat and shift after only a couple of centuries due to knowledge base and cunning.

Very interesting coverage Mgt23!
After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan

things are getting quite byzantine down the MOD lately.................

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8210781.stm

QuoteDefence Minister Kevan Jones has denied allegations that he is involved in a plot to tarnish the reputation of the outgoing head of the Army.

Several newspapers have claimed that "an MoD minister" has encouraged Labour MPs to try to get Gen Sir Richard Dannatt's expenses claims made public.

But Mr Jones said it was "a silly season story" and he looked forward to continuing to work with Gen Dannatt.

Gen Dannatt steps down as head of the Army later this month.

He will be replaced by Gen Sir David Richards, a former commander of Nato forces in Afghanistan.

In an MoD statement issued to the BBC, Mr Jones said: "General Dannatt and I have worked very closely on a number of personnel related issues, because we both care deeply about service men and women.

"I look forward to continuing our working relationship with Gen Dannatt, both now as CGS [Chief of the General Staff] and beyond into his retirement."

In July, Gen Dannatt drew criticism from some government ministers when he told the BBC he would be compiling "a shopping list" of equipment badly needed by Britain's troops in Afghanistan.

Reports in the Sun and Daily Mail newspapers centred on claims that MPs had been encouraged to submit Freedom of Information (FoI) requests designed to expose details of Gen Dannatt's expenses.
   
General Dannatt is a man of honour and integrity who leads from the front
Shadow defence secretary Liam Fox

Government sources have told the BBC that some FoI requests have been submitted to the MoD, but they have not been identified as coming from Labour MPs.

A source said: "There is no campaign by Labour ministers to tarnish Gen Dannatt's reputation."

But the BBC has established that Labour peer Lord Foulkes has submitted parliamentary questions about Gen Dannatt's expenses which he wants the MoD to answer during the summer recess.

In particular, he wants information on how often the general has used a helicopter for travel within the UK.

Shadow defence secretary Liam Fox said Labour had become the government of "fear and smear".

"Whilst suppressing reports of their own incompetence, they attempt to undermine the reputation of one of our most distinguished generals," he said.

"At a time when our soldiers are dying in Afghanistan, ministers spend their time in puerile personality politics.

"General Dannatt is a man of honour and integrity who leads from the front. His Labour detractors are squalid and cowardly, undermining from the shadows."

right now im hexing these byzantine weirdos

QuoteAs the war in Afghanistan intensified this summer, so too did infighting between Downing Street and top-ranking military chiefs. Eric Joyce's resignation letter published last night reveals how that growing tension has now become damaging hostility.

In an assault on the government's Afghanistan policy – which also warns that British losses can no longer be justified by claims that the war limits terrorism on British streets – the former Black Watch officer complains that "behind-the-hand attacks" by Labour politicians on senior officers are tantamount to the government attacking its own troops.

The disputes that he is talking about are rooted in ministerial resentment of complaints by Sir Richard Dannatt, the outgoing head of the army, and other senior officers, about the lack of resources given to the troops fighting an increasingly bloody war in Afghanistan.

"Improvised explosive devices are a major issue at the moment," said Dannatt earlier this year, before the recent acceleration in British fatalities. "They are a major tactical battle that we have got to win. We need to roll out more equipment so we have permanent 24/7 surveillance over the most difficult areas, and so we can target the Taliban as they are laying these things."

Both Dannatt and his successor, General Sir David Richards, pushed for an extra 2,000 troops to be sent to Afghanistan. The request was made to Gordon Brown by Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, chief of the defence staff.

The prime minister rejected it, according to Whitehall officials, because of Treasury concern about the cost and Brown's uncertainty about how it would go down with the public.

The attacks appeared to reach a low point when one unnamed minister was recently said to have described Dannatt as "a complete bastard", and Kevan Jones, the veterans' minister, was forced to deny that he was behind a smear campaign against Dannatt which involved accessing his expenses, using the Freedom of Information Act, in a bid to suggest he had lavish tastes.

In the end, it emerged that Dannatt had filed modest expense claims and cut costs by buying £5-a-head meals from Lidl and Tesco, and bottles of wine for £1.49.

But ministerial sideswipes at the top brass rebounded to the extent that sections of the media launched campaigns defending the military and praising "our heroes".

Last night, the shadow defence secretary, Liam Fox, asserted in response to Joyce's letter: "Labour has now become the government of fear and smear".

Joyce's resignation letter reflects a growing belief that Brown and his close advisers in Downing Street have no real empathy with the armed forces, their ethos, and their needs, despite the ritual references to their bravery and courage.

Defence chiefs and the Ministry of Defence were astonished at the way that Brown continued to oppose giving Gurkha veterans the right to settle in the UK, something he was finally forced to agree to. Lord Guthrie, the former chief of defence staff, has recently sharply criticised Brown's attitude to the armed forces when he was chancellor of the exchequer.

Before he resigned, Joyce described as "politically bonkers" the government's appeal against compensation awards for two injured servicemen. General Sir Mike Jackson, the former chief of general staff, said the appeal was "virtually incredible", and accused the MoD of a "penny-pinching" approach to the issue.

"Most important of all," said Joyce, "we must make it clear to every serviceman and woman, their families and the British public that we give their well-being the highest political priority."

Rank and file soldiers have certainly not felt that. One amputee fighting to keep compensation, which the government is trying to recoup, told the Guardian: "They are talking to me about money I owe them, as if I had robbed a bank."

Joyce said: "It should be possible now to say that we will move off our present war-footing and reduce our forces there substantially during our next term in government."

Joyce's comment that the public would not accept for much longer that "our losses can be justified by simply referring to the risk of greater terrorism on our streets" is a direct attack on arguments repeatedly made by Brown, by Bob Ainsworth, and Joyce's former boss, John Hutton, the previous defence secretary.Growing scepticism about the link between fighting the Taliban and the spectre of a rejuvenated al-Qaida is reflected in opinion polls, most recently in a survey in yesterday's Sun newspaper. In an editorial, the Sun questioned Brown's Afghanistan policy, much as Joyce did last night.

QuoteScientist Ray Kurzweil claims humans could become immortal in as little as 20 years' time through nanotechnology and an increased understanding of how the body works.

Ray Kurzweil claims we could all be cyborgs in 20 years.

The 61-year-old American, who has predicted new technologies arriving before, says our understanding of genes and computer technology is accelerating at an incredible rate.

He says theoretically, at the rate our understanding is increasing, nanotechnologies capable of replacing many of our vital organs could be available in 20 years time.

Mr Kurzweil adds that although his claims may seem far-fetched, artificial pancreases and neural implants are already available.

Mr Kurzweil calls his theory the Law of Accelerating Returns. Writing in The Sun, Mr Kurzweil said: "I and many other scientists now believe that in around 20 years we will have the means to reprogramme our bodies' stone-age software so we can halt, then reverse, ageing. Then nanotechnology will let us live for ever.

"Ultimately, nanobots will replace blood cells and do their work thousands of times more effectively.

"Within 25 years we will be able to do an Olympic sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath, or go scuba-diving for four hours without oxygen.

"Heart-attack victims – who haven't taken advantage of widely available bionic hearts – will calmly drive to the doctors for a minor operation as their blood bots keep them alive.

"Nanotechnology will extend our mental capacities to such an extent we will be able to write books within minutes.

"If we want to go into virtual-reality mode, nanobots will shut down brain signals and take us wherever we want to go. Virtual sex will become commonplace. And in our daily lives, hologram like figures will pop in our brain to explain what is happening.

"So we can look forward to a world where humans become cyborgs, with artificial limbs and organs."
