I wonder....would an immortal end a sentence with a preposition?

Quite. That, quoting Churchill, is something "up with which I will not put"...

I
certainly intend to live forever. :)

Saw Bicentennial Man today, it made me cry. A lot. Here's a question for you:

Would you give up practical immortality in order to be officially recognised as
"human", given that you already were, for all intents and purposes?

Por moi?  I will reserve judgment on Bi-man until I see it tomorrow or Thurs, but
my initial reaction from trailers is that this whole topic was dealt with quite
elegantly in ST:TNG with the character of Data.  The author of Ecclesiastes was
certainly correct when he said, "There is nothing new under the Sun".

I don't quite understand your question, but I can see the Christ inferences
forming already....  BTW, did everyone catch all of the Christology in "Matrix"?
