} It is the same problem we face with life extension. As our lifespan
} increases, our generation renewal ratio drops compared to that of the
} germs. Germs will evolve and adapt more quickly than we do, added to the
} fact that we already do less, and they do more so because of medical
} improvements.
That's why we want enough knowledge of how immunity works to take over.
If you think of intelligence as evolution uploaded the battle against
bugs looks a lot nicer on our side. Generation time of ideas in a fast
thinker should outcompete bugs, not to mention our other advantages of
intelligence and communication.
We've got programmable logic machines. When we've got programmable
immune systems and programmable factories (the Drextech promise) life
will be spiffy.
