Through salvation in Christ, we *already have* immortality. Depending on when the Second Coming is, you may have to go through that messy death thing first, but the destination is worth the trip!

How to spot a Windows user:
It's like trying to move an already installed OS from one machine to another; difficult at best.
(I've moved dozens of Linux installs from one server to another and the only change I have to make is tell it "eth0 doesn't exist anymore" so I can have the interfaces named from eth0 onwards instead of eth1,2,3,4,... )

Patient is put to sleep, and all the arteries in their neck are connected to a set of artificial pump equipment. Their skull is removed with bone saws. A high pressure (relative to normal blood pressures, obviously just below the threshold to blow an artery) flow of superchilled fluid, full of synthetic molecules that cap ice crystals before they grow, calcium channel blockers, vasodilators, and several other drugs is flushed through the brain. The brain is also sprayed with chilled gas from the outside, and the whole assembly is inside a large oscillating magnet to further discourage ice crystal formation.
Yeah, I'll sign right up for that. : /
