If a person wants to die, then why wait?
But seriously, you can solve the problem of #3 and #4 by using stem cells to make your brain divide forever, and use computers to store your memory in perfect condition, since brain cells gradually die off.
The problem is... what is "you"? How do you determine whether you are still yourself after a given period of time? Does my solution actually constitute a solution?
Shouldn't we be focusing on a way to scientifically quantify the soul before making ourselves immortal? On second thought, that might not be the best idea.
Well, how do you do it now?
For my own part, I don't think the question means anything. I will change over time; I have already changed over time. As long as the transitions are relatively gradual, there won't be any complaints on that score.
