If super advanced health care was cheap, would you still eat healthy?

[Kokolums]

Lets say in 2050, they roll out a health care robot. It costs $50 and runs on solar. It can diagnose and cure you of all kinds of things. For the things it cannot cure, it will just grow you a new body (18 years old) and transfer your consciousness into it (in a perfect and painless procedure). Itll even have an emergency backup version of you stored in case of sudden death in the cloud.

Would you still eat healthy? Or just pig out until you get fat and jump into a new body? How about risk taking? Would you go parachute jumping? Dive off a cliff into water? Lots of drugs youd never touch otherwise? What else?

[Mittens]

Depends on how does it transfer my consciousness.

[Independent voter]

No way to know for sure until you actually do it but I'll say I would try to be reasonable with my health, who wants to undergo a procedure?

if they could reverse Carbs to have a fat burning effect, I would live on Fried Chicken Donut Burgers.

Perfectly and painlessly

[Treno]

Depends. Eating healthy isn't exactly cheap either.

Please don't tell me that's actually a thing... Sounds as bad as deep fried twinkies at carnivals.

I mean, does it create a copy of it and then uploads it to a cloud, or does it like extract my brain and puts into a new body?

Bullshit, I currently am on a strict healthy diet and spend the same as I did on my shitty unhealthy diet.

The only difference is Prep time.

[Underverse]

Yes of course. It feels bad to be unhealthy, regardless of whether or not I could fix it cheaply.

So basically Eve Online's lore excuse for player resurrection.

Assuming everything went perfectly 100% of the time, there wouldn't be a reason not to live a riskier lifestyle!

But there are things to consider. If you do anything that requires physical fitness, every time you are grown a new body you'll basically be restarting your training from zero. In fact most physical activities and craft skills will require a retraining of "muscle memory." So there is that to consider...

Depends on the precise details of the new-body-growing and consciousness-transferring processes.

At this level of tech it can do either

[cuafpr]

pizza daily, yes plz! even if it was a 30% chance you'd die i'd be ok with it.....

If it could grow a new body as awesome as my current one is, the answer would probably still be no. Waste of years of hard work.

You're an evil man, now I want one to at least try it .

Pics or it didn't happen kthnx.

This is the science we should be working on!

[Splenda]

Probably. I actually really enjoy vegetables and well rounded dishes.

I mean sure, I love cake and donuts and fried things, but it doesn't feel good to eat that way all the time.

[Schattenlied]

This one is entirely irrelevant... A copy of me is not me, my consciousness would not continue, I would be dead and gone and therefore this does not matter.

Would you still eat healthy?

Probly, I enjoy healthy food well enough to keep eating healthy. That being said I imagine if they had the tech to just give me a new body we would have the technology to alter the body to to make it simply "throw away" excess calories instead of storing them as fat, and just not get fat to begin with.

How about risk taking? Would you go parachute jumping? Dive off a cliff into water? Lots of drugs youd never touch otherwise? What else?

No, because like I said above, death is the end of this consciousness, having a backup copy doesn't matter, it would not be me.
