    Correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I think you're telling me:
    You're saying if and when we get the technology, we could accustom peaceful endeavors of sharing (your version) of immortality of saving our life memories and trade bodies repeatedly. Solving basic problems today would be simple such as synthesizing our waste and bodies into supplied necessities? Yet if that plan fails upon Earth-from other problematic situations-it would be alright since we'd already have colonized other planets by then. amirite?

    Going off upon that it still seems skeptical to me.
    Some of the technology today, we use to have wars-and thats just for oil...imagine the wars for immortality with evolved technology. I don't think we would get over the coloured divisions-ethnicity if you will-in our race anytime soon and if it does it probably won't last.

    Suppose we do achieve the technology to be able to synthesize bodies-that is after we already acquired immortality-there still is the expansion of population that will cause problems. If we continue to repopulate spontaneously. Theres still consequences to our growth adding on to immortality. To be blunt; we could achieve your theory of immortality with the machinery, blood and sweat but when its finally here..it won't have a happy ending.

    aaand on a side note: Why continuously use bodies/clones?
    We should just become machines-after all its just our memories downloaded over again and again. Considering the people who would make the bodies could just reprogram everything in our memories but we could probably lose our humanity-boo hoo-and just become drones without realizing it. Anyways, I wouldn't mind being a robot-given the chance (with having untampered memories); Robots are cool.

    Probably not.

    By the way, read "The Burning" by Graham Masterton. It's about achieving immortality by self-immolation.

    Consider this: We urinate.

    Yea but humans don't drink directly from the ocean, we store water in reservoirs and in bottles and in our bodies for long periods of time. The more humans, the less water there is lying around in the natural environment.

    Did I ever say we drink directly from the ocean or that the water we drink has to come from a natural source at all?

    If we ever reach immortality (which we ****ing won't, but maybe come close to it), then at that time we will most likely not care about natural environments, since they most likely will not exist anymore.

    water has to come from somewhere though

    As the ocean evaporates it creates clouds, clouds rain, we collect the rain and store it in reservoirs, when we urinate we collect the water and clean it and never let it out of the system. Eventually all the water from the ocean will have evaporated and/or been collected, but if we are still reproducing at this time we are ****ed so hard.

    That's wut I said

    Humans store water in bottles and reservoirs and in our bodies


    the more humans, the more water that is in storage

    if water is in storage then it's not in the natural environment which means animals and plants die and then droughts happen and then there are water shortages

    So this just turned into a circlejerk?

    That would take a long time though. For there to be no more water on earth, by storing it in all humans, there would have to be 3*10^19 humans, or 34650000000000000000

    We already have problems finding enough water though, not all the water on earth is easily accessible

    The only real constraint is energy, and if we have the capabilities stated in the OP, we'd have plenty of energy to make saltwater into freshwater.

    I think the capabilities stated in the OP are unrealistic. Managing resources is hard.

    Raar!
