ARE WE READY FOR IT?

What the cons and pros on it? If it is successful....
Somehow we can live eternally by the power of science and etc.


Ok if we got cloning technology available and able to transfer memories - based on the quote above "Somehow we can live eternally.."

My Answer : NOT A CHANCE.

Let me explain why in a dramatical way...

Subject A : I think I am coming to my end....
Doctor : Do not worry, soon you will be resurrected and live a healthy life as normal
Subject A : I hope so, *cough* well.. goodbye world.. *closed eye*
Doctor : Confirmed subject dead at 12:00am 12/12/2300
Nurse : The clone is ready doctor.
Doctor : Begin the memory transfer process now.

*with a data rate of 5000GB/s equipped with an error correction and verification tools* - 5 minutes later...

Subject B : *open his eyes - saw dead body of himself next to him* I am .. I am.. ALIVE!! Doctor thank you very much!
Doctor : Piece of cake. How's your memory?
Subject B : Based on the procedure, you told me if I can remember AB111 which happened when I was 20 years, and GH1100 when I was 40 years, I think everything is fine with me.
Doctor : Darn.. you may want these back then *shows keys to Lambo*
Subject B : Of course i still need this, ok bye doc, i'm going home now. Ciow!

Now, from our view - let's observe.

Subject A died.
Subject B (clone) lived with Subject A memory.

Subject B is still Subject B, Subject A still dies and goes to heaven / hell.

Subject B is a fake, it's a new lifeform (artificial if I may add) with a Blank memory, which memories of Subject A had been added on to it. Subject B THINKS he lived on, but in reality, NOT.

Any case happens, you DIE.

I know this thread prohibits religious talks, but I must insert this quotation from the Islamic view "There is cure for every sickness, EXCEPT dead"

Anyway, it's an interesting issue to discuss.

Another perspective is:

Subject A: Ahh... (breathing back). Damn, I'm not dead yet.
As you a bit unconscious, you heard a conversation in the room (and turn and look at ur left) .

Subject B (ur clone): *open his eyes - saw dead body of himself next to him* I am .. I am.. ALIVE!! Doctor thank you very much!
Doctor : Piece of cake. How's your memory?... (bla bla and the talks continue)

and he walk away from the room for tonight date with ur girlfriend and you just WTF!!.  brows.gif

Conclusion: Subject B is just like your twin and the only different is he got 100% of ur memory.

it's like that story.. where rich people clone themselves for their organ parts, the clones were raised in a very isolated place and were limited to a 7 years old child exposures - then somehow two of these clones went out and one of em met with his actual self - can't remember the name of this movie, can someone recall for me?
