unlimited lifespans

I referenced The Immortality Institute in today's exposition of Psalm 8. Here's the video I mentioned.



I'm only partially through it, but the first 3 minutes were pretty disturbing to me. . . . "Maybe we will choose to transcend our humanness, and become cyborgs." Yikes!

What happens when we all start living forever? Talk about a population problem!

Is this not just the Tower of Babel all over again. . . humankind's latest attempt to build a tower to the heavens. . . . one more form of self salvation independent from God?

What are your reactions and thoughts? What does it mean to be human?


(BTW, I had no idea that Google Video had 1 hr 45 min videos. I think YouTube has a 10 minute limit!)
