It’s not that I want to be fully conjoined with another person, so much as I might prefer that to death in the medium term to get me over the hump to longevity escape velocity. Also, I kind of always imagined it more like a dialysis machine. We don’t grow a whole person so much as a big pile of organs sans brain that is genetically you (or just compatible enough to not cause rejection issues) and get hooked up to that for a while. Maybe medically induce a coma for a few months out of the year, maybe it will be quick and easy to connect/disconnect and you can be plugged in while sleeping or doing desk work. People always object to my life support clone/flesh pile idea but again, better than dying imo.
