I still don't know how I feel about something this ambitious: http://www.hedweb.com/
Would you still call these creatures humans? But I guess if you can define human as sentient life striving constantly to improve, then transhumanism makes perfect sense. The only question is, what aspects of humanity is it vital to keep?
So eternal life for me? Not my bag. Eternal life for a future, better mentally and spiritually endowed humanity? Maybe.
I am sure you remember how vehemently I argued against this idea.

I would like to live, if not an eternal then an extended existence. Though this would largely be due to a historical interest, to see how the world changes, live from one era to the next. However I am fairly sure that most people couldn't live beyond around 200 years without going completely insane.
