An excellent point!! Well done that man.

However, he would, if he had suitable control over his memory editing,
as your magic-pill scenario suggests, doubtless keep his vital personality
memories intact as the millenia rolled by - updating and editing as life
went on, much as we all should (but don't - NO TIME!) do with our disk files!

I wouldn't *necessarily* want to live for ever, or even a million years,
but a few thousand more would be most welcome! Specially if the miracle
cure kept my body youngish and healthy!
