genetic engineering? ai singularity perhaps? How do you intend to live forever?

Look at the world around you, do you really want to live forever? The more time passes the more death seams like retirement from life.
Fuck forever, just let my upcoming prostate biopsy be negative. I’m retiring and I have shit to do that doesn’t involve sitting in front of the TV wearing a diaper.
Shrug. The closest that real biology allows. I already have children so at least some sense a part of me will live on for at least the duration of their lives.
Past that I’m with most people on here that immortality sounds horrific. Now I can get behind extended life span especially if medicine and society provide for being actually healthy and able to enjoy it. Just not forever.
If life has taught us anything, it’s that you eventually get tired of everything.
I’d like to learn enough biology to cure aging and cancer. But first the politics need to change, so that’s my priority.
I have no intention of trying to be immortal, just try to live a long time through healthy eating and exercise
Are you a billionaire? Cause unless you are it’s like a child wanting to be Batman when they grow up.
I honestly can’t think of anything less appealing than dealing with other people forever.
I would have no regrets if I die tomorrow.
The name on my Park Run card is “Do Not Resuscitate”
When my time comes I will rid myself of the delusion that I was anything other than a piece of the universe experiencing itself.
Maybe something fundamental of me will return. If the Buddhists are right I have a suspicion of what I am learning in this life and what I will need to learn in the next. But otherwise I will simply no longer distinct at further points in time, just as there are prior ones I was not distinct at.
No plan
Hope someone else figures it out before I’m too old to make it worthwhileIf we’re speaking how I’d like to do that if possible, just put my brain into a robot body. Or just upload my whole mind into a robot.
If we’re talking realistically:

Realistically I’ll probably die in a heat wave.
Just for fun, if a like-minded individual has any possibility to physically preserve my brain (not a copy!) in their makeshift lab I’d probably roll the dice on that one if things were half-clean. Yeah, I know, the odds aren’t good.
In terms of cyborg stuff, I would want something more organic than popsci typically shows though. Like having a semi-synthetic body that is its own multi-cellular, symbiotic organism. That can further connect to other things (like to the myconet to exchange resources).
I would not want to live forever, though. If I did anything like that I’d probably live isolated for a while and then retire into my own brain.
Crack my skull and spine, pull out my spinal cord, brain, and eyes, pop 'em in a robot body.
