Mortician

Thanks. It's The Mortician from 'Batman: Gotham Knights' I'm kinda a comic book geek.

I'm only 24 years old and iv already seen to many deaths of people iv loved more than myself...immortality for myself...I would have to live as a hermit or face watching countless amount of people that I love grow old, sick and die.

Now with science creating some kind of "live forever pill" ...the world is already vastly overpopulated. They would not give it out to just anyone.

Even if offered. Id decline it.

Yeah, you are right Mortician. Loosing all the people that you care about would suck the biggest 8 of them all. The way you have to think on it though is like this. If physical immortality is attainable for yourself, then for those that you cared most about you could buy there's as well. It is still a coin flip as to weather or not scientist make it there in our lifetimes or not. How bad would it suck if right after they put us in the ground they fix the last roadblock to it?! In my ghostly form before I faded off into nonexistence I would drop to my knees and be just like Darth Vader "uh grra Nooooo!"

Technically though that kind of physical "extended life span," already does exist. You know when you look at a dirt poor tobacco user has got on average a life span of between fifty and sixty years. However for the obscenely rich individual, well already the life expectancy gets ten to forty years tacked on. You know, with money for routine doctors visits and everything. I do want to showcase my understanding and human compassion a little though. For any of you out there loosing your friends and family. All that is about like my Grandmother from the time I was a toddler I always called her "my second mother." I used to say to my mother when her and my grandmother grilled me "Yeah! Your my Momma!" "Well, what about her?" "Yeah she's my Momma too!" My little toddler brain just really could not understand why they weren't able to get this. At the time of my birth mother twenty days prior had just turned thirteen-years old. So quite literally I am saying she was my second mother. The real unfortunate part of the story is shortly before my birth my maternal grandmother contracted Hepatitis from intravenous drug use. So literally, especially because of us being on the lower income range, we are not knowing which day will be her last. So having a loved one with a life threatening illness, I'm in that boat. For us being Satanists (at least with my "brand," philosophical Laveyan Satanism)sometimes it can be hard to hold on to living even another day knowing that it just ends. No heaven of glory bright and all. The way that I personally have to think about it is, like this. The price for me standing where I am in this life, is gallon drums full of the cost of life. Blood, sweat and tears. Not only of my own, but filled for me by my cherished loved ones as well. I refuse to allow their sacrifices to be senseless. So for them I LIVE. Each day I live and I cherish the beautiful memories that they have graciously bestowed upon me. What I'm saying is, death, as of now, is a natural part of life. Hopefully the beautiful conclusion to a life, that is as all life is, very taxing. I have come to know this and I say it quite often. Life is a struggle and life is a fight. From the first struggling breath to get oxygen into our blood (the doctor even sometime has to swat a few of us on the bum for us to take that first painful breath)to the last agonizing, sometimes, breath. Do not forget everything in between. It all is a hellacious struggle and fight. Do you want to live forever? Do you see the price the staggering toll and say "I will pay that price." Do not be fooled, you, I would imagine, are of the majority of people. Most people are as you are! "You mean more pain? Even more struggle? Even more heart ache and sacrifice? Loosing even more loved ones? No, I'm good in taking the elevator to nowhere!" We who say "Hell yes! I will pay that price!" I would imagine, that we are the minority. However as far as a better topic to get all of us animals bringing our heads together from coast to coast, there is no topic that is better.

If I have come off as rude, I swear, that was not my intention. I was just thinking to myself, "What would be the most engaging topic? Well, it would have to be one with some serious thought behind it." Then I was like, "I've got it! What if living forever was an actual possibility? I know that most would think it would be too heavy a burden, but I honestly think that there's no better topic for mass dark discussion(What I refer to you my Satanic and left hand path walkers regardless of the color of your skin. Beside my Momma Is half German half Irish)." Like I have stated before, for years I've been keeping up on the medical sciences advancement in that direction. The used to be "vital," organs that soon can be cloned, there is a NOVA show about. It is hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson. The name of the episode is,"Nova scienceNOW: Can we live forever?" It is actually on Netflicks, that is where I saw it. With as many of us that have lost loved ones to the icy claws of the grave, naturally this is an extremely sensitive subject. If I offended anyone, I truly am in regret of that. My dark Siblings, the only reason that I like this subject is because I would prefer immortality. If you where in the right place in your minds, psychologically and instinctually speaking, I honestly believe that you would as well. Is it easier and way more soothing to just not care. To just give up control of the fate of things. To take less when you could have much, much more. Yes, it is so much easier. However we are Satanists! We are supposed to want our cake and eat it too! On occasion, indulgence not compulsion. I guess about after a thousand or so years, I might prefer to fade out. One of the things that we (working to be)masters of the physical world are supposed to want is first to know what can be done and then make the choice for life. Would it be way more relaxing to close my eyes and belief that the family of mine that has passed, is just floating on a cloud and playing a harp! Yes but that is the popular mass delusion! We are Satanist! We say prove it or shut the fudge up! The truth of it lies, in the before our time Satanic Saying, responsibility to the responsible. Will your deceased bloodlines that has passed, will their life on this rock mean anything? That is up to the responsible, You. There is no heaven of glory bright and no hell where sinners roast. The here and the now is it. Will you choose to make the most of it? Only time will tell. If you do not want to believe this, that's okay. That is just the Satanic belief. If you are different, I have got NO problem with that. Different strokes for different folks. Truly words to live by(no I didn't watch the show I just saw Dave Chappelle singing it). From my heart I say, hail Satan! My will be done! My own God I am!

Well I just want to give a long overdue thank you to you SammieSam12398 and also to you Mortician. Although your views are the opposite of my own, I love that took the time to express them so that I could ponder the opposite side of the fence. So again, I really do mean it, thank you.

Yea Mortician, you are probably right about the "selective chosen few," theory. You know where they limit the number of people who actually end up receiving the "immortality pill." As far as having to be secluded from other humans though, give it a little thought. If you could have it, then so could they. I'm sorry about not responding to you earlier than now man. Yeah evidently I have a condition known as "selective reading." I swear that I meant no disrespect by it. On the subject of a specific way true physical immortality could be attained, I have a clone of myself made in a laboratory. You know, on a petri dish. One of my cells inserted into an egg that has been stripped of the genetic material. Essentially, the one cell taking the place of a half cell of egg and half cell of sperm. Just to warn you the rest is probably going to be more than a little graphic and some would say either down right gross or immoral, readers beware. Then what the scientist does is wait just before the embryo will die. The reason to wait as long as possible is so the most construction as possible is done. Scientist know specifically how long that is. Experiments on fertilized human embryos has been done in labs for years. So I am sure it is out there or after trying a few times will be. Okay so the fertilized human clone embryo then, very shortly before it expires, it is taken under a compound microscope and the egg is very carefully cut open. The next stage is carving the brain out of the embryo and then putting the human egg back together. If putting the egg back together is not physically possible then a new unfertilized human egg can be brought in. If perhaps a larger egg is needed for the embryonic cellular structure, a nonhuman species possibly. The reason that I say possibly is because I do not know if that can be done. From the newer egg accepting the clump of cells, onto another species' egg being capable of being contained within a human female. So there is some question marked area by me but I am almost sure that with enough cash and experimentation, it would very quickly be discovered. At this point the clone of myself(or whomever could afford to have this, I'm sure, very expensive process done), would then be implanted inside of a surrogate mother. So just to recap, we now have a human clone, which has everything except a brain. Let us figure this one out. Where can we get a brain? Well this baby cant live long on its on without one(inside the mothers womb the baby doesn't need a brain because the surrogates brain keeps its blood pumped full of oxygen). Oh yeah, I've got one it can use! Hell, I'm ninety-four, it can keep the damn thing! This body is falling apart! Of course, the only thing that I know of, that is standing in the way of that is the medical advancement and knowledge on connection of the nerves from the brain, located at the brain stem, to a spinal cord. I know medical science is not very far off at all. That is if it's not already there and I just don't know it. How I know this, is because after my brush with death, when my tibialis anterior was paralyzed to the point where I had drop foot. This was about a year after. My physical therapist said, that if the body did not heal it own its own, we could then talk with a surgeon and either have a surgery setup to reconnect the nerve or splice in another nerve. So if they are there, the nerves leading out of the brain stem might be smaller if anything. Then I could live to ninety and be re birthed into a new body! The very thought to me is more than orgasmic or pleasing in any way! Immortality, if you don't live your life and get to where you can(making tons of greenbacks), you will miss the boat. Then, when that happens, live or die, will take on a whole new meaning.

Ha! Yeah, that's pretty fucking sad.

Justin Booger rules the world! He has powers to move googles with merely a blunder. I got some inside information that the Biebs is going to jump over a REAL SHARK on waterskis in his next video. And my (unnamed) source was pretty emphatic, using words like "killer," "epic," "monstrous," and "Locos Tacos". I'm a Belieber!!!!

JK

For some reason I saw an imaginary Mel Brookesque clip of AF being "caught" by the Nazies while singing "I'm a belie(b)er".

Now THAT would be epic.

My oldest daughter calls him Justin Beaver and thought he was a girl when she first heard his music. I asked her about him today and she rolled her eyes and said, "He's no Beastie Boys. He makes me want to barf."

Gives me hope. :)
