So, when we become immortal, we're supposed to go around trying to cut off each other's heads with swords for "the Quickening" until "There can be only One"?
I can see a need for a positive portrayal of immortality in popular culture that relies on something plausibly scientific instead of violence, predation, parasitism or the supernatural. Stargate SG-1 comes close, but none of the main characters has taken advantage of radical life extension.

James Hughes has published an excellent article on the relationship between media and transhumanism at betterhumans:

Yeah, but there's several of them that don't age. Like Duncan, Connor, Richie, Amanda, etc. Still like the idea. I'm just being argumentive.

Lazarus - In all seriousness, I find all your posts to exhibit great powers of observation, experience, to be very wonderfully thoughtful, prescient and beneficial. Feel free to argue...

one really, i guess you could say trippy, experience i had when watching Highlander a while back was when they showed the tombstone of James Horton. hopefully that's the only time i should see my name on one of those useless slabs.
