The trick is to get the memories to rejuvenate too. That is thought impossible presently except by external systems eg downloading memories to mechanical systems to be uploaded when you have rejuvenated....making us machine-dependent. That's arguably the way we are going. It;s linked with resurrection of the dead via quantum archaeology. It seems VERY hard to guess breaking technologies and sciences that are not incremental advances. Once we nail rejuvenation buy studying nature, we will start raising the dead using statistical retrodiction:in Quantum Archaeology: https://sites.google.com/site/quantumarchaeology/ eldras Not only the immortal jellyfish (Turritopsis nutricula) but hydra and many other life forms can reverse their aging, dying only from disease and predation.

Just how interesting can life be for a jellyfish, a sea-urchin, or a sponge? If they were self-aware, I bet they’d get bored with life.

Thanks for the great article. It may cause some pressure for increased funding. “More” was a happy understatement. Thanks for the great article. It may cause some pressure for increased funding.
