answer:Interesting question, the answer depends on how one defines oneself. Specifically, re memories, I believe that I have been shaped by my experiences, but I don’t believe that the precise memories of those experiences is important to maintain my sense of self throughout my lifespan. I am a different self, while maintains my core self, than I was, for example, 30 years ago. My reaction to certain stimuli today is very different from virtually identical stimuli from then. And no, I would not opt for immortality. Maybe some more time than my present allotment, but not forever. What are thoughts on this, @SmashTheState?
