Immortality Today

The topic of immortality is a common one today; typical estimates place the advent of immortality between 30 to 100 years in the future.

I don’t think so. The process can be begun today, though at great cost, and perhaps moderate risk. Most useful inventions and innovations are not radical breakthroughs but the creative combination and use of existing technologies. What’s presented below is no exception.

The image pictured to the left shows critical systems that can be replaced using current technology.

Admittedly much of the tech pictured is currently rather primitive, but everything shown has been proven either in humans or primates

Phase One:

Phase One is perhaps the simplest and easiest. The first thing to do is to make sure you have your vaccinations up to date. The second step is to “back-up” your immune system, through standard outpatient bone-marrow harvesting procedures. Next, you will have tissue samples taken from various tissues and organs in your body. Some of these will be used to create embryonic clones, from which totipotent embryonic stem cells will be extracted and stored. Finally, you ‘bank’ some of your eggs or sperm.

Phase Two:

At the beginning of Phase Two you will undergo full genetic profiling, which will check for all known genetic defects and/or risk factors. This data will be used to preemptively treat any future disorders and mitigate risk factors. Since the start of Phase One, you will have been persuing a rigorous exercise plan developed by a physician. You’re going to need all the strength you can get… All critical systems will be checked, to identify which are most likely to fail in the near future. Any system which has a high risk of failure within 5 years will be replaced at this point. (except for older people, this will likely be unnecessary at this stage). Major arteries and veins will now be replaced with artificial, fault-tolerant systems. Click the graphic below for a full size diagram of the structure and functionality of the replacement vessels.

Phase Three:
