from the it-helps-to-like-yourself dept

Wired has two articles about a recent on living forever. The first looks at what scientific areas people are looking at to make life extension possible. It's the ususal culprits: cloning, nutrition, and nanotechnology. Those involved seem a bit more optimistic than others about the possibilities of these technologies. The second article looks at what type of people are interested in living forever, and what their reasons are. It seems different people have different reasons - and all of them are incredibly optimistic about their chances.
