Second Life named appropriately

Where do you go when you die? I'd like to think that Second Life might be an option some day. The most horrifying think about the prospect of immortality is the idea of watching your mortal friends die off around you. But what if your friends didn't die off? What if they had the same immortal abilities as you?

Second Life could offer this. Maybe it's 200 years off but it's conceivable to think that a consciousness could be moved to one's avatar. A little mind blowing, but fun to consider.

From within second life, it would be easy to interact with loved ones and even 'see' loved ones via a webcam on their computer. When they leave the real world, they become a citizen of Second Life.

The world is infinitely expandable so there would be no population issues. Politics would continue as normal. The body of knowledge could quite posibly grow enormously because, without death, society would not need to continually learn from its mistakes.

I could take immortality under those conditions.
