Well I think immortality is quite impossible. our soul is immortal, when we die our soul leaves this physical realm and moves on to the higher dimensions.Being mortal is what makes our life more meaningful and far more important.Do we really want to live forever?Personally I don't want to live forever.

There is no fundamental prohibition of immortality. This is a completely solvable technical problem. It just requires more knowledge and more opportunities. And I think there are several hundred years left.
Imagine a scientist, forever young, constantly accumulating knowledge and experience, how much more he can do in 1000 years, and not loss his cognitive functions at the age of 70-80 years.

Some people aspire to immortality. But immortality doesn't really make you happy as you think.
I`m with you on that. We already have enough time to be happy, we`re just not using it correctly.
It must be the coolest thing 
Wouldn't want to live forever. The thought of seeing my loved one went before me haunts me everytime i think about it.

I think a digital copy of the brain and immortality are two different things - I'm not sure if we really want (or should strive for) either to be honest. Our population only grows larger, and our earth can't deal with people not dying, so immortality is a slippery slope. As for digital copies of the brain... again, do we really want/need this? How about we focus on other, more pressing issues in the world instead of putting our energy into these?
I only know one Man who is immortal and that's Jesus. Other than that, there are so many of them only in movies. I ever wonder if how it feels like to be an immortal. Isn't it boring that you live thousands of years in this planet?
I think that immortality has already been invented. They hide it from us.
But I would not want to be immortal.

Immortality is an impossible thing. Every human being has birth and death, immortality is completely unreasonable.
With the technology development, the human will found of the given method that immortality. But I think think the immortality will do the people not be happy it and wrong with the natural law.
There are plenty of projects working on "digital immortality"- Creating virtual worlds where people can be uploaded once this is possible (allegedly within the next 30 years.)
I don't think it could be technically considered immortality though. "Forever" is a long time. The hardware that would make this possible would still be subject to the heat death of the universe.

I have lots of questions about it myself, but I try to keep an open mind about it, especially since technology is never predictable. Most of the gadgets and apps that we have now, I couldn’t have predicted will become a reality today. So who knows? Computers might be powerful enough to store human memory or it might find a way to preserve the earth. Only time will tell. But for now, I think the current studies and research being done are feasible enough to pave the way for this digital future. Here's a brief blog post about it:

What do you think?
Immortality would be great if it applies to all, but if it apploes to you or few people it is like a curse. You will live but the people you know will leave you.

What do you think about immortality? Will people find immortality in the future?
Is it possible to transfer a digital copy of the brain to a computer environment?

Hmmm immortality in my mind is that you live and can not die. But just copying your brain to an computer or make a copies of you and upload your data... is that really an immortality!?
People would have never figure out how to sustain life for one to live forever. Thay can copy brain and make a computer to talk like yiu and think like you and all but its imposible to prolong your life so much that you would never die. When we get old our body is braking down and it would need a constant fix. Not possible.
I don't believe this concept. For me, death is the end and it's the final stage of being a human. I just have to accept that I'll die
Immortality is an abstract concept.
Humans will never be immortal, not only because of the neurons cells' incapacity to regenerate, but simply because even the universe will end someday.
Absolutely nothing is immortal, not even the universe, that is expanding and cooling down until the last star will die and with it any kind of life.
But this is the only way, death is necessary for life, as dark for light.
Humans can only leave after their death in the memories of the living, the greater their impact on humanity, the longer their "after life" will last. but still is not immortality, do you think in 1 million years people will still know who Leonardo Da Vinci or Hitler was?

Actually, immortality isn’t an entirely abstract concept anymore, as there are tons of studies now looking into the exploration of technology in order to make it a reality. In particular, there is a growing enthusiasm being shown for digital immortality –that is, uploading human consciousness into a virtual simulation. Have you encountered the topic online?
The question is if its gonna happen will we ever know

I don't believe that some people can live forever. If you said in the future, people's life can be extended to a few hundred years old, i believe it.
