I would go so far as to say that we may one day be able to take away the legs, arms, organs, torso, head, everything that will eventually break down. Then upload our brains into a virtual, (dare I say) MMO world and not even notice the difference.
Of course, we'd have to get around the problem of parting with "self" when transitioning to the virtual immortal life. And therein lies the philosophical problem of the conscious.
