Having a hard day in the pissing rain I am enjoying this Andy!!!

Well it immortality depends on your point of view. IS the continuous existence of the body truly the idea of immortality? I dont, I actually agree with the second statement that we ARE all just recordings...right down to your conscience. IF you didnt exist then you never were so to speak...so everything you have, love etc etc is learned and imprinted in the mind. Now DONT ask me to quantify the mind..that is well and truly not understood...so I may just be completely wrong about memories. SO techinally your ARE being immortal by transfer as everything you are is a result of learned situations etc. So yes (depressing bit) maybe we are just chemical reactions??

Yes cancer has sprung forth BUT how?? I believe that due to the longer lifespan we are giving the mutated genes to our children etc etc. There was a show on a while back..cant remember the exact name but it was something like chemical kids. It tested people from the beginning of the last century to detect mutations, disease, chemical imprints etc in cells. It was (just from my memory) something like 500 chemicals in the modern human compared to about 30-50 in our Great grandparents.

So cancer MAY have just been given to us through development of the modern world. I believe some resaerch is actually going on in this field to determine what went wrong. My 6 year old boy was asked to participate in such a study at school.
