Scientific Immortology: Immortology is a science which strives to achieve human physical immortality of the body and of the mind. The tools of immortology could be many. Here we list just a few possibilities: 1) Through a balanced intake of vitamins and other nutrients slow down the aging process. 2) Through an intake of age-slowing or metabolism-slowing chemicals slow down the aging process. 3) Reprogram the human glands responsible for the aging process. 4) Genetically change the somatic cells of the body and the human organs in order to make them more resistant to the aging process. 5) Replace individual human organs with new genetically-engineered or mechanical organs. Keep replacing those organs for as long as necessary to achieve continuity and immortality of the body. 6) Replace individual human neurons with biological or mechanical replacements. Keep on replacing millions of these neurons as the original neurons keep dying off. While replacing the dying off original neurons make the replacement in such a way as to maintain the original structure and connectivity of the brain without changing the function or the personality. 7) Replace entire sections of the brain with new electronic brain-cells. 8) Add new electronic components to the brain, either externally or internally. (This is already been done by the de-facto integration of hand-held devices and computers into the thinking process of the individual.) 9) Make a total backup of the brain including all the thoughts, memories, associations, feelings and of the thinking processes. 10) Construct either biological or electronic devices into which the backup of the human brain could be restored, including all the thoughts, memories, associations and of the unique thinking process, thus assuring the continued existence of the human mind (the human software) apart from the original aged or damaged human brain (the human hardware). The term "immortology" has been coined in the 1970ies by Mark Hucko.
