Just listened to an interview (on NPR's To The Best Of Our Knowledge-link may not last) with Aubrey du Grey, chief scientist of The Methuselah Foundation, who believes that we have within our near-future medical grasp the indefinite postponement of death, making possible lifespans of the same kind: indefinite. He figures we'll have this capability, which he expresses as a complete understanding of the mechanical systems of the body, within 30 years. He likens humans to vintage cars or airplanes: as long as their systems are kept running they keep running.

I have felt this to be true for several years, that science will ultimately "see God" if He is there.
Once every generation--if we're lucky--a voice emerges that so powerfully and cogently expresses the essence of life itself that it transforms us. Until that voice emerges, may I offer Karma Killers to take up some slack. Karma Killers make no actual promise of "killing" any "karma" whatsoever, and should not be construed as promising to do so. Not guaranteed to be complete or even coherent.
