I was thinking this as I read through this thread;

This living forever idea is great but so set apart from modern science it's amazing how serious some can be about it.

Live forever with your deafness or blindness from birth! Got herpes in college? It's only another infinity years of those outbreaks! If you were able to live infinite years you would ultimately wind up in some vegetative state. Between accidents dismembering people, un-curable ailments, etc.
