What is perfect? The idea of what is perfect is a cultural construct. We perceive what is perfect through our own experiences and ideals. What may be perfect to you may not be perfect to me. The only way humans can be "perfect" is if we lose recognition of the idea of perfect and just BE. We would have to lose our ability of our deeper consciousness and just act on our natural strivings and tendencies. Only then could we think of no other way/alternative to live, act, and function, and therefore be "perfect." Which leads into a separate question. Is perfection beautiful?
I believe it is our imperfections that make humans beautiful and unique.

good thread to provoke a bit of thought.
don't know about being immortal though. knowing ones mortality make for greater appreciation of watching a sunrise. There are millions of things of beauty in this world and i would hate to become blaise toward them.
I will check out the blood electrification process. i heard somewhere the average 77kg person has approx 1kg of bacterial organisms living in them and they would die without some of them (pro-biotics etc). A great piece of symbiosis (which came first, the bugs or us).
and if immortality becomes a reality, well, i'm sure that it will only be available to the elite of this world (until we wake up and roll out the guillotines into the city squares)

There is no perfect human by design.
As the cells of a body are dependent on making up the whole of one's physical being, the same logic applies to a human unto humanity; humanity unto the cosmos.
Human greatness will be achieved when humans come to the understanding of how interdependent they are of one another.
Does not every action have a reaction?
Love and Understanding goes a long way.
Respect for life and nature.
To learn from it.
Perfect human?:
To do no harm unto your neighbor.
To respect the lives and paths of your neighbors.
To see oneself in a collective whole with humanity and the cosmos.
Humanity itself is one collective organism.
To acknowledge a Creator.
To look Up for answers with 'Good' intentions.
To appreciate a creation as only a Creator could.....and would.
To acknowledge and use one's gifts, in a collective fashion for the betterment of all.
To respect and encourage the path of another without interference as long as one 'does no harm' unto their neighbor.
May your collective paths be in harmonious parallelity with creation itself.
To achieve the Oneness the cosmos (Creator) expects from/of you.
Until this is accomplished, millions will continue to suffer and perish, as per design and one's soul/spirit will continue to be 'trapped' in the purgatory, known as Earth.
STOP 'allowing' yourselves to be divided and conquered.
This appears to be a re-occuring theme on the rock 'Earth', no?
Every living entity creates.
Create as only 'you' were designed to create.
I would 'imagine' creativity itself is the favorite pass-time of one's Creator.
If this rings as true, it is because it Is.
Vision (form) to word.
Not the other way around.
