Voldemort

Saw an interesting article from The Telegraph in the UK the other day wherein a scientist postulates that in about twenty years human beings could become immortal.  This would come about through accelerating technology such as nanotechnology and a better understanding of how the human body works.

What do you think?  In Harry Potter we discuss the desire of Voldemort to overcome and conquer death while the true master of death, Harry, realizes that death can’t be avoided.  We’ve been discussing vampires this week on the site, and there is certainly undertones of human mortality and immortality going on in the vampire mythos.

Mull over the article and feel free to share your thoughts on the subject.
