It amazes me how much people try to grab onto life. Your life is survival and the reason you survive is to keep on living, there is nothing mankind can do within its scope other than entertain itself. We can reach the far ends of the universe, conquer galaxies, play god. But at the end of the day.... why? just to keep us entertained?

Death is the only way to escape existence. why is this such a bad thing?

It isn't. Unless you'd rather continue existing for a bit longer.

I don't know why people make immortality has to necessarily be where you live forever.

Because that's kind of implicit in the definition of the word. From latin In- negative prefix + mortalis temporary, transient, subject to death -> Im-mortalis permanent, undying.

In other words, immortality by definition refers specifically to having a theoretically infinite lifespan, not to the quantity of work done or ideas conceived during one's life - and doing or thinking more than normal during your life is no guarantee that one's works or ideas will themselves be particularly long-lived.

Human life is constantly being extended for each generation. If it were so that, say, some treatment were to become available so that I could live for a few tens of years more - would I do it? Probably. Depends on what I feel I got left to do. Questions of immortality are, to me, at the very least silly and bordering on uselessly philosophical - why even bother when we have nowhere near the capacity to implement true immortality in any shape or form? When we do, I think some bigger questions will have to be answered anyhow so it really doesn't matter much...

...and no, I'd'nt be prepared to put my brain in a virtual version unless you offered me 110% of everything I can do right now. Otherwise, what's the point? Just to survive? I guess if I was about to cure cancer, sure, but other than that? No. Not really - I live life to enjoy it. After that, I'd rather sleep and be at peace rather than get stuck in some computer sim of my mind's copy.

What if you get teleported from A to B? Are you the same person? Or is it a copy of you that gets to continue living at B, whereas the person at A is dead.

Cuz all your cells at A get destroyed, and then recreated at B.

,,teleported''

umm. teleportation do not destroys.
Teleportation causes spacetime anomalie wich causes the same atoms being exist in 2 separate coordinates on same time, then source location being closed, causing object appears on the target location.

The type of "teleportation" in your link only teleports the state of the particles, not the particles themselves. The original particle is indeed destroyed in the process.

So depending on the kind of teleportation being done, it may be the same as cloning yourself and then committing suicide, or it may be just the original 'you' stepping through a portal.
