Will robots inherit the earth?

This article was so interesting to read. All our thoughts about reproduction and life span were questioned. I remember thinking in high school Biology class that life wasn't forever. I've always wanted to live forever. Experiencing life is the best thing I think, but I don't know otherwise. I don't think I'd want to die even if all my friends and family were gone, I'd find new friends! I thought it was strange that people in the article surveyed individuals that said they would rather die than outlive their friends.

It is also interesting that intelligence seems to indicate how long we live. Since our primates live about half as long as we do and not many animals outlive us it would seem like size and our brains have something to do together.

The other day in class we were talking about beauty. I remember a Dove movie I saw a little while ago with a regular woman who gets makeup and hair and photoshopping done and looks like a supermodel. The makeup and hair doesn't bother me so much because I do the same thing, but the photoshop was really scary. So much was changed about her proportions: the neck, shoulders, eyes, face, hair... everything was altered to the correct proportions. Its really disgusting, but she does look good after, but it doesn't look like her. Go here to see it.
