In "Science and the Future of Cloning: Is Immortality Possible?" writer Patrick Takahashi poses that when human reproductive cloning is accomplished, computer technology will be at the point where one's consciousness can be downloaded into this new body. He estimates, "...this fantasy for immortality could be possible in 25 years."
But the best part of this article are the comments (over 180 last count) left by readers. Seriously, take a look and see the ideas people have about cloning, the future and modular consciousness. There are poignant musings about the soul, references to Star Trek, Neuromancer, vampires, and it wouldn't be the internet without snarky comments about everything in between.
