People are very resistant to this idea.
I think you all take some perverse comfort in impending death.
The statement "everybody always dies" is typically said with a certain quiet glee.
Our brains are only kinds of machine, and we are only the processes taking place in those machines. Keeping a person alive forever is just a matter of maintaining the process in some form, any form.

But forever is not attainable.
I mean, we need to continually be developing just for that person and planets do not last all that long really.
