Right? "Immortality is a curse" is the most skill issue idea. As long as your body held together relatively well I'd be thrilled to live forever. There's so much to do!

Skill issue tbh. Using my immortal wisdom of untold ages I would simply not get stuck

Eventually we all get stuck in the endless black abyss of the post heat death universe

i've never thought about it like that before and honestly its quite liberating

it's how i've always felt about immortality. sure it's a gamble, but at least it's a shot at something interesting happening

even if you have to wait for the next universe to be born or whatever

We've never been closer. If the sharks and jellyfish and crocodiles can do it, why shouldn't we?

Incidentally does anyone have a good news portal for research papers about this kind of thing? I'm trying to get up to date and inspired on the cellular regeneration/genetic manipulation fields. There's so much we can do and it's always been my dream to do it, and I think reading the real thing will really help me drag my adhd ass through school.
