Well i will settle for an indefinit lifespan. I believe that the truly
eternal life is an utopia. If you live long enough even the random chance
that an accident will kill you will get near a 100%.

Isn't that the same dilemma that we face already now in our short
lifespans? If i am me right now and in the next years/days/seconds/... i
learn and develop, can i then with my limited memory and fuzzy recall claim
to be the same person?
