Our biggest problem is memory; how to transport it from one living entity to another. Once mastered, it will be the ultimate definition of 'transference', as well as a viable path to personal immortality.
Let's try to solve some of the problems about that. First of all, what mental change do we all, as a species, go through once this is a reality? There could come a time when conscious transference will be something that everyone can afford, and almost everybody will want (there would be those who will prefer death, for a variety of personal reasons).
My proposal is to create an Eternalist Research Center, whose sense of science will be in the direction of reincarnation studies. A gathering of knowledge. Past. And ongoing.
When the famous steel guitarist Jerry Byrd passed away, we mourned not only the loss of a friend, but also the loss of the talent that grew in his mind and hands. Where does that go? We have recordings, but they are mere echoes.
