A couple of things are scary, though: first, the number of seemingly intelligent people who think without even questioning, that the upcoming Singularity will be a good thing for humanity. Second, the significant possibility that when computers become powerful enough, and aware, that they will deem preservation of individuality to be merely obsolete and of no value to be continued. I'll take cryonics if needed, and uploading may be a fine idea, as long as my individuality is preserved in all the "enhancement," and the Big Boy still has an Off switch and a power plug. Meanwhile, let's sing along. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=27496
