I wasn't copping out, you're the one who brought it up. Besides, clinical immortality seems like it would cause society to stagnate. If there are immortals, then there are by neccessity fewer children because of the resources they take up, and therefore very few new modes of thinking.

the point is that technology could certainly allow us to "survive" better, thus fitting into whatever evolutionary perspective you have.
It already does that. What difference does it make if it is incorperated into the body or not? Why does having it in your body somehow cause you to transcend your own humanity?
