Researchers are investigating whether it’s possible to “live forever” by uploading your brain.
Until then, the only immortality on earth is a government entitlement program.

some rigistered Democrats vote long after their death – that’s a kind of immorality too.
that should say “immortality”but I guess it works either way.
Well live until the Sun explodes at least.
No, but I think it may be possible to create a machine that thinks it is you.
Uploading a Democrat would look like:

It’s dead, Jim.
If my consciousness is in a computer then I can’t eat tuna. If I can’t eat tuna then I am not DamnCat.
If the contents of your brain are copied to a computer – and assuming you are still alive – then the instant it becomes active it becomes a different being with it’s own thoughts and experiences different from yours. That’s not you in there just someone very similar – and probably a jerk like you too.
Just imagine the ‘meta data’ the NSA could get from this.
The thought police, they live inside of my head
The thought police, they come to me in my bed
The thought police, they’re coming to arrest me, oh, no
@6 DamnCat: You can eat “virtual tuna.” It’s delicious and tastes just like chicken!
Just imagine your “brain upload” running on a Microsoft Windows operating system…
“DamnCat has encountered a problem and needs to close. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. It’s recommended you contact Microsoft. Would you like to contact Microsoft now? [Y, N]”
(no response)
“Rebooting DamnCat… Sector 0 corrupt… Unable to boot…”
(blue screen of death)
The computer brain had rights Callahan!
I’m just trying to be helpful, DamnCat. You know me.
I have just finished archiving the entire contents of my brain to paper tape. Took all weekend but now IMMORTALITY IS MINE! Bwaaahahaaaa!
avatar malfunction?
ahh. There it is. Thank you, gravatar.
Does the Russian malware and viruses get uploaded too?
Of course, it would afford me the opportunity to annoy Jimmy in perpetuity. So there’s that.
Hey! I’m all for uploading cats into the cloud.
But which immortal offers more cake?
