SP, I had to go up a ways to see to whom you were referring. Yank has far too much "faith" in human ingenuity. There is nothing that nanotechnology can do to produce an immortal physical body. A biological body will inevitably decay. If in some way the human mind could be transferred to a mechanical and electronic machine, a person might live for thousands of years, but even the best machines wear out. That's those pesky "laws of physics at work.

However, all is not lost. Humans are immortal, and all of them will one day have bodies to go with those minds that are a this time awaiting such renewal. Some of the humans will live forever in happiness, and others in sadness, but all will live on. The bodies prepared for the minds will be especially prepared to live in one of two places - either in the happy presence of God, the Creator, or in eternal exile - solitary confinement - and pain.

"Transformation" for the win! (Romans 12:1-2)
