Thinking about having maybe fifteen to twenty more years of life….. unless the medical profession learned to do brain transplants. But why would I want my old brain transplanted into a young body? I would have remembered pain from my arthritis, so even though I had a new body, my old brain would be telling me it had arthritis pain where it expected to have it. And I wouldnt recognize myself in the mirror. A consciousness transfer would present the same problems and trying to erase the memories associated with the pain would also erase some of who I am, so that is just as undesirable. I concluded, therefore, that the only means of becoming young again would be rejuvenation. Not instantaneous rejuvenation as in Robert Heinlein’s Time Enough for Love, but over a period of time, such as six months or a year, to give one’s brain/consciousness time to forget the physical pain and wrinkles of old age. A gradual “younging” would allow the brain to get used to the differences.
