Google Chrome Favourite Manga DragonBall [Z, S], Legend of Zelda	An Australian company called Humai claims they're working on tech that will allow them to bring their clients back from the dead within thirty years. In an interview with Australian Popular Science, Humai CEO Josh Bocanegra offers a little insight into how their process is different from other firms. "We'll first collect extensive data on our members for years prior to their death via various apps we're developing. After death we'll freeze the brain using cryonics technology. When the technology is fully developed we'll implant the brain into an artificial body. The artificial body functions will be controlled with your thoughts by measuring brain waves. As the brain ages we'll use nanotechnology to repair and improve cells." Think taking your hard drive out of your old desktop and plunking it into a brand new Alienware and you'll have some sense of what Humai is aiming for. "I think the body has limitations and I don't believe the body has evolved with the best possible functions", Bocanegra says. "I think an artificial body will contribute more to the human experience. It will extend the human experience. So much so, that those who accept death will probably change their mind." With a staff of five and still searching for outside investors, Bocanegra is still confident they can reach their goal of making their first resurrection in thirty years. "I don't think of it as fighting death. I think of it as making death optional," he says. "I personally can't imagine why anyone would want to die but I respect their wishes." Humai is the latest in an increasingly crowded market of start-ups offering the hope of secular salvation, from singularity theorists who say we'll be able to upload our brains onto the Matrix to cryogenics experts who claim they can keep your body on ice until all disease is cured. What do you think? Is immortality within our grasp or will we have to wait for the zombie outbreak?

If they're having to build "you" from scratch using AI then it's not you at all, you're dead and that's just a copy so it wouldn't be resurrecting you at all. Not sure if that's what they're aiming for but they're essentially just copying people if so not actually bringing someone who died back, just creating someone who thought they were alive before. It's a start though glad we're getting somewhere with immortality, can't stand the thought of nothingness.

AIs will never be complex enough to be thought as personalities, even in a few centuries, it will still just be a bunch of data guided by a robot.

Though that begs the question of how quickly they can snatch it up from where ever you die. It only lasts so long without nutrients. So fundamentally we'd end up being cyborgs or Androids if this happened. Which is kind of a cool thing, if you're into it. And as a machine you wouldn't NEED to eat or sleep, you'd just have appropriate nutrients added to your mind and go from there. A much as I hate to liken something legitimate like this to Dragon Ball Z, this is some Dr. Gero class science here. Though it makes you wonder to what end. Instead of a mechanical apocalypse, we'd merge with "skynet" as it were. Immortality even in this sense would make interstellar travel spectacularly easy. After all, you could stay in "hibernate" mode and travel the cosmos. And come to think of it, the issue of individual "magical" and "divine" or even "biological" immortality would become moot after a generation or two. Watching the people you love age and die while you stay the same, would be irrelevant. They'd become cyborgs too. However then Breeding and Overpopulation come into question. When would be the logical time to stop. And of course this is an optional thing, and likely a bit pricey. So I'm certain not everyone would want to be an Android. Does that give humanity another reason to hate itself and each other. If the 1% become Gods and the rest are stuck in a cycle. Perhaps the skynet war will come to pass rather than the zombie apocalypse.

So fundamentally we'd end up being cyborgs or Androids if this happened. Which is kind of a cool thing, if you're into it. Yeah but why gather information on you? It seems like they'd be filling in gaps after your brain dies or something like that, so that wouldn't be you still a lot of you would have died. I think if we get to the point where everyone is immortal or close to we might see something like the movie In Time. Pretty meh movie but basically everyone is immortal however they have a time limit to their lives, I think everyone gets 25 years initially or something like that and then time becomes a currency. So there are rich people with thousand year life spans and such. The population would get ridiculous otherwise. Though if we become immortal through cybernetics I guess the immortals might just let the mortals die out at one point.
