Dr. Nourse (he was a medical doctor) wrote a column years back for Good Housekeeping and also wrote a book called Intern under a pseudonym (Dr. X). Intern was actually the first thing I read by him, back when I was a teenager. The Psi Hi book was given to me by the father of a friend. I had it for years, but no longer do.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-44078087874390794792016-07-06T22:58:43.490-07:002016-07-06T22:58:43.490-07:00Interesting.

In that way, yes, I think our brains are wired for immortality. But, our bodies are finite in their current state. SO we get two opposing views. It's also my belief that there is a resurrection followed by perfect immortality in perfectly immortal bodies. There you have it. Immortal spirit in a mortal body. And that's why we identify with themes of eternal creatures so well.Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-72774510978022529312016-07-06T03:05:30.539-07:002016-07-06T03:05:30.539-07:00I reckon that the nuttso crazy shit would be slapp...I reckon that the nuttso crazy shit would be slapping everyone after, oh let's say a century and a half, cos reconciling all the changes in that time would make you either nutso or at the very least a grumpy old person.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128774435912323133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-21002870882669892622016-07-05T20:52:45.651-07:002016-07-05T20:52:45.651-07:00Not sure if we are wired or not for immorality or ...Not sure if we are wired or not for immorality or not.

He remembers all his past lives and living has become such a burden that he wants to end the world. Killing all humans so he can't be reborn. Seems to me that outliving your friends and family, watching them grow up, older and die is sure to mess with your head. I'd say no to immortality but wouldn't mind aging very slowly like Mystique from X-men.Lidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185947128989933152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-36394132834021543302016-07-05T19:29:34.011-07:002016-07-05T19:29:34.011-07:00I have no desire to live forever in this world.

A longevity treatment had been invented and Congress was debating whether to fund it for all citizens. What a Congressman who initially supported the bill discovered, in a study, was that people who underwent the procedure lost all of their creativity. What was left was repetitive behavior that never resulted in anything. He ended up voting against the bill, although not having the treatment (and he knew this already) would kill him. Perhaps this is what would happen if we lived that long.
