Five reasons that it would suck.
I think it misses the point a little, though. It assumes that only you would be immortal. If everyone was, some of the reasons would go away. But more importantly, the goal isn’t immortality, it’s the ability to live as long as one wants to. I think that when you phrase it that way, none of the objections apply.
Here comes Smith Electric:
The company has very limited customer base of only eight companies, and “the loss of any of these customers could materially harm our business.”
The SEC filing contained other damaging revelations. The firm said that its truck’s lithium-ion battery cells “have been observed to catch fire or vent smoke and flames,” and their warranty reserves may be insufficient to cover future warranty claims.
The company’s top management has limited or no experience in the automobile or truck business. Hansel previously led Evo Medical Solutions, which sold portable oxygen concentrators.

This will not make women obsolete, but it’s going to be rough on the prostitution profession, when the technology achieves its peak.

Some thoughts on the unjustified arrogance of The One. He really is insufferable. Again, I have no idea why people find him “likable.” I never have, except in that one speech in 2004.
…make better teachers than know-alls.
This doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve always found that the best way to learn a subject is to teach it to someone else.
Here’s my new favorite. This isn’t the subject, it’s the “From”: “Pubs may generate their own and submit for approval!”
I like the one from “Unknown” and “No subject.” Who could resist opening that?
And the one from “Savy Manager.”
