- the length of our life span through recreation of brain cells?

Since dieing is the function in which our organs shut down mainly because of the brain (as we can already replace hearts) but our brains are ultimately us, our consciousness.
So yeah, think it's possible or not?

no because we need more then our brains to live.
as well as finding perfect matches for all organs means nothing without living muscle and non-weakened bones
also with old age comes alot of other diseases

you would need to find a way to beable to recreate all body organs. there would have to be a way for your body to produce new cells to replace old, dying cells, not just in the brain, or organs, but throughout all aspects of the body.
that way you never age really.

i believing cloning is the answer for that...but then cloning is just another big debate to talk about...

A clone in which would inherit your brain so you keep your 'self'? Cool theory

Even though the brain is an exact copy, you wouldn't necessarily keep yourself, since the clone hasn't lived the same life as you have.

the cyborg route seems to be the better choice for furthering our life spans to me. using tech to replace natural parts seems far more progressive than using tech to make more natural pieces.

not through the way youre saying it. your muscle and skin cells die too not just organs. you age because your cells dont replicate as efficiently due to chromosome decay

There is 1 way. But humans can't do it for you.
