	Immortality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This theory of quantum immortality, however, is not widely regarded by the scientific community as being a verifiable or even necessarily correct offshoot of the many worlds interpretation, which itself exists as one possible interpretation of quantum mechanics among many.
		Beings born with immortality (such as deities, demigods and races with "limited immortality") are usually quite adjusted to their long lives, though some may feel sorrow at the passing of mortal friends, but they still continue on.
		The Immortals of Highlander: The Series possess immortality granted by an unknown energy (called the Quickening), which is triggered by the trauma of a violent death.

	Immortality Institute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Immortality Institute (sometimes abbreviated "ImmInst") is a nonprofit 501(3)(c) organization with the mission "to conquer the blight of involuntary death." The organization hosts an online forum, publishes books, creates films, and sponsors conferences in order to advance life extension research.
		Based on materialistic philosophy; the prospect of conscious post-death survival of the spiritual sort is improbable and non-reliable.
		Spiritual immortality, which in most cases presupposes such survival - holds on to the same unfounded nature.

	Michael Anissimov - Objections to Immortality: Answering Leon Kass
		The Foresight Institute, most notably the researcher Robert Freitas Jr., is widely known for studying the technical and political aspects of medical nanotechnology, among other types of nanotechnology.
		Creating benevolently self-improving artificial intelligence is the pursuit of the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence, a research project aiming to create genuine transhumanity by exploiting the unique cognitive advantages a general AI would have relative to humans.
		Approaching an immortal society with the assumptions and reservations of a limited-lifespan society is not the way to accurately project the attitudes and emotions of the former type of society; we need to factor in advances in worldview which would inevitably take place to accommodate the inevitability of life extension technology.

	The Cryonics Institute Home Page
		As soon as possible after legal death, a member patient is infused with a substance to prevent ice formation, cooled to a temperature where physical decay essentially stops, and is then maintained indefinitely in cryostasis.
		As an optional extra (at extra cost) a Cryonics Institute Member may contract for cryonics professionals from Suspended Animation, Inc. to wait by the bedside during a terminal condition and immediately begin cooling and cardiopulmonary support upon pronouncement of death to minimize brain damage.
		Then in 1976 a separate organization was formed: the Cryonics Institute, to offer cryostasis services: careful preparation, cooling, and long term patient care in liquid nitrogen.

		To ensure funding immune from most political winds, it would be desirable to create such an institute via a constitutional amendment, one which garauntees a certain level of funding for it, like a certain percentage of the federal budget, to ensure that inflation does not cripple it.
		Message: Immortality will be the choice of a new race, which will eventually proliferate, as the mortal humanity will be gradually repressed because mortal citizens are economically less profitable for the State than immmortal citizens are.
		Immortal people will possibly be very different form today's humans as the only function of their body will be to support their (eternal) consciousness.

		BK: We debated the term "immortality" extensively beforehand, yet came to the conclusion that "immortality" was right because it sets the right tone.
		The reason why we chose "immortality" as opposed to "life extension" or another conservative term is that we don't want to limit ourselves by any implied ambiguity.
