I'll stick with the concept of Primo because with Primo the idea is to keep improving the transhuman body. This site you suggest is about tinkering with the "human" body. And, for most of us on these lists, the chronological age of 100 is a mere beginning. In living longer - much longer - we will be applying various technologies, such as nanotechology (as suggested by Robert Freitas with the idea of nanobots communicating throughout the body), rather than relying on human evolution to extend our lives moderately. It's a good idea to suggest and discuss many alternatives to our human and early transhuman bodies by unleashing the imagination and not restricting the medium.
