Immortality

Immortality within a transhumanist context has a few meanings.

• Near-future life extension techniques - often in the context of the longevity escape velocity
• Biological immortality - a similar concept which encompasses more radical self modification technologies such a nanotechnology, requiring technological longevity
• Posthuman transhumanism - full immortality an implementation of the above with the ability to survive existential risks with more radical self modification, typically after mind uploading
• External immortality - There is continuity of a person from an external point of view, but the individual 'dies' without continuity of consciousness
• Digital immortality, whereby a digital copy of some kind is achieved.
