Eclipse Phase: Frosted Glass Discussion

honestly farcasting reminded me of transporters in star trek, by most definitions it does kill you. But if you dont believe in a "soul" its a mute issue I think.

But using forking and AGIs, from standpoint of my character is atleast a perfectly viable alternative

Trying not to wax on about the faction that I was lucky enough to get approved but that last question is one of the deciding philosophies that drove the Immortals into existence. Perfect biological immortality is a ludicrous goal to have, but it is a whole lot better than crying yourself insane about if you aren't real.

Or if you do believe in a soul, and that it is transferred by means outside our understanding.

I like the idea of Immortals because they have a practical answer to an honest question. Some more morphological freedom'y people might call them bioconservative, but they're not anti-technology, so they're not really radical biocons.

I am sure there is a big view on this kind of thing. Personally I'd view it as hedging your bets. Maybe you are just dead forever, but thats something you cant avoid. If you really are immortal using this method, yay, if not and loading a back-up just makes a clone of you, you still dont lose anything. And hey a you is better then no you at all
