Brilliant concept! Where do I sign? What's the phone number? I've been disabled for 15 years....LOL boy, do I need a new body........Excellent work!!!!! The Bryster

FANTASTIC work!

Great Piece! Could I have a new one too please? This contractor work beat the crap outa me.

While I'd like better (more realistic) textures in some places, like on the doctor's coat and on the sheet, this is excellent. BTW, didn't you swipe the look of the console from a video-editing console or a sound mixer? It sure does look famililar. :-)

Transmitting neurological data, that's very clever. How many copies of yourself are you allowed to have? :) Lin

Great piece! You are going to be hounded for more specific info on this company...best to charge for the specifics!

Wow, Pidjy! You never cease to amaze me! Lovely concept! Question to the corporation: If I decide to contract your services, could I leave some ND out? Like supid fears or childhood traumas? :-)

That's darn cool. Reminds me of the movie "The Sixth Day" where arnold schwarzenegger (sp?) is cloned...blah bah blah. I really would like to see a video screen somehwere showing what is currently being transfered, i.e. an old birthday party, marriage, or something like that. The other thing I would like to see would be to dim either the foreground or the background, and increse the intensity of all the little glowing lights. I know that's a lot of work without postwork, but I think it would add a nice touch. The final suggestion I'd like to make is to add some reflection to the glass window between the console and the room and have something reflected in it, such as another scientist or maybe a more symbolic object. Just my 2 cents

DreamWarrior, you wouldn't want to do that, the end result wouldn't be you at all. You are the sum total of everthing you've ever done and experienced. Take all the bad out of your memories, and you'd lose all of the things you learned not to do through trial and error, for example. In order to be you, you'd have to take the bad with the good.

Oh, and great entry, pidjy!

tjohn, you are right. But then, I can't help to wonder. If we have such great opportunity here with this corp., why not try? Oh, save those bad stuff on a CD or something, and if I don't like the resulting "me", I'll make you insert those as well, ok? ;-)

Well I personally would like to a shot at getting by without my worst memories. Lin

to a shot = to have a shot Could you maybe just alter the memories?

Wow! Only thing I see is a spelling mistake, should be transmitting and received. Imagine though, your mind in a baby with a dirty nappy! Euch! Excellent idea.

Your imagination knows no bounds PJ. Just one thing though, I read somewhere that if you see an ad for something extra ordinary and it has spelling mistakes - "Don't Believe It". 8P Catlin

Tjohn's right without your worse menories to balance the great memories you wouldn't be who you are, there is always a balance in the universe....bad things we survive make us stronger and the good things we experience help us cope with the bad...however wouldn't mind having a younger body and live forever though, so much I haven't learned to do yet, play the flute, become a xeno biologist, visit the stars, explore the universe, first contact.....

And... (can you tell I've read too much SF?) the new you (who is not REALLY you), composed of only your happy memories, is probably never going to allow anyone else to inject those bad memories back in because then he/she will cease to exist, and the real you would be back. Terribly geeky source for an example (I am unfortunately very geeky), sorry, but the only one that would come to mind: When a transporter accident split Captain Kirk into two entities, one good, one evil, the evil Kirk fought like h*ll to stay separate and unique, and it was only the good Kirk's strong sense of right and wrong that allowed him to want to be reintegrated with his own dark side. But neither of the two new entities was the real Captain Kirk. Also, if you are an artist (and frankly, if you aren't, why are you in this Forum :^) ), much of what inspires you will come from your dark memories. I was just looking through my gallery, and realized that my images are either cold, dark and scary, or light, humorous, and warm with almost nothing in between (is there anything in between?). I would hate to lose the part of me that wanders over into the dark side to create. Those works allow me to exorcise my demons, so to speak. The appeal of not ever getting sick and dying, just moving on to a new, young, healthy body, is very strong. I'd want to be there with my mind intact. Almost all the SF I've read with this theme ends with people deciding that immortality isn't all they thought it would be, and end up seeking death in the end. There, that ended on a cheerful note, didn't it. :^)

CAn you make a clone for me that is one year older than me? Then I can vote. Nice image. I'm against cloning, but clone-art is okay 8)

What can be said my - the esteemed Brycers have said it all. Love it ;0)

Immortality wouldn't be very nice because you would 'out-live' too many loved ones. Staying young on the other hand would be very nice. I hate the idea that I'm going to be old one day 8) If I could choose I'd live a hundred years and not get much older than 18 years. (wich would mean that I would be 18 years old for 82 years.)
