Well duh. But see Yue, cardi is very cheap, relatively at least, much cheaper than nano-regenerative-technology, so let's call Cardi nanotechnology for the masses. As pretentiously funny as that sounds, it does seem logical. Though it makes you wonder why the OC Dons use only cardi when nanotech could get them so much farther. Who knows, perhaps they even secretly do it.

but cardi costs like over 900 (ITS OVER 9000!!!) in Malta, if im not wrong... that's not exactly cheap...
Nanobots, on the other hand, cost 200 everywhere.
are medical nano machines that much complexe?...
Medical nanotechnology is insanely complex. It breaks my brain. The nanobots we use on our spaceships in Freelancer don't fix components, just restore hull integrity. Is this because they cannot handle the complexity of fixing components? Nanobots are limited by the coding and the resolution of their equipment. Nanobots can't turn a wrench, but they can intelligently spray a bonding solution.
Is there evidence for medical nanotechnology in Freelancer? I think I've missed it. I assumed Cardamine was the only real method of life extension in the game without organ replacement or cybernetic/robotic adjustment.
Well replacing all organs save for the brain certainly would do the trick, since the brain is the cause of death in 0.001% of cases.
The body is the one which is weak.
And as for nanotechnology, there's nothing that proves it exists, and nothing that proves it doesn't. It seems logical it would, though, since even in our time right now research for medical applications of nanotechnology is in progress.

The only medical technology that I recall even seeing in Freelancer was when the medics ran out with their grav gurney in the opening scene.
As for medical nano-technology - they're working on it across the river from me now (Purdue) and presumably at other research colleges as well.
Lazarus Long - Woodrow Wilson Smith - effective age just over 2,000, albeit with assorted time travel tricks, a bit more. Clone the person, but don't let the MENTAL processes of the cloned brain develop. Then when it comes time, just transfer the mental data from the old brain into the fresh, empty brain, and continue on. The body dies - but the personality continues on.

that would work. but how would it seem to you? would you still "die" or would you just get transfered into a new body?

I talked of a similar thing earlier in this thread. Lemme try to find the quote.
Quote:Oh and, a little idea comes to mind, caught from a sci fi book series I read a while ago.
Anyways, some rather wealthy and lacking in morals people just got themselves cloned, and then replaced the brain of the matured clone in his 20s with their own.
You get the idea, perhaps it can be used in some RP of a character that's not really a goodie..
Answer
Quote:Doesn't work. The brain ages too. What you would get here is an aging, degenerating brain in a young, strong, healthy body - which could get quite unhealthy to bystanders, I'd guess...
And again me
Quote:The brain ages, yes. But significantly less than a body.
I'd say, if the body was as good as it, if it didn't quicken the death process, a mind could live at least 200-300 years.
And that was all about that idea.
