I Am Mortal

Ok immortality, if you can die you are not immortal you may live longer but that doesn't make you immortal. A perfect example of the stupidity of what people consider immortality can be can be seen in Highlander, they call themselves immortals, well until you chop their head off and absorb their life essence... immortality fail.

Immortality is, regardless of what happens to the body, the body will still live, even if you get to end up like mincemeat, so, there would have to be some self assembly process like the body will either regenerate and or reconstitute it's form to an encoded template. I cannot conceive immortality would be that much fun to be honest because we would need different brains, brains that can adapt to the rapid changes in knowledge and not be hardwired to a birth era, talk to an 80-90 year old and you will see what I mean.

Secondly you cannot have a trans-human human, once you have altered the DNA they are no longer human. Trans-human is a term to make dehumanisation more palatable.
