I'm def getting the downvotes. Though the more I think about it - the more I think biological immortality will be one of the 3 biggest technological advances required for society to move to the singularity. **1)** Biological immortality: Societal memory now has an opportunity to drastically increase. Not to mention the personal ability to live much longer (downside being that your death is now guaranteed to be though some sort of 'unlucky' accident'). As a global society we will have to address our global goals together - and work towards them together. We would have to unify ourselves and formally develop our global strategy and certain systems: Global unified system of ethics. Not this rag tag barely patched together pile of fairy tales and superstitions. *Asset assessment of our environment, consumption rates, recycling rates and earth regeneration rates etc. *The controversial birthing licenses and finding an ethical way of controlling them and preventing unplanned / authorised births. **2)** Neurological improvement implants that increase / improve memory, processing ability and general intelligence. This will build the personal infrastructure to rapidly and effectively better ones self and contribute to the greater good actively. **3)** The creation of the noosphere / mindnet: The internet directly connected to each other. We will be able to tap into each others consciousness and memories and points of view - ultimately removing or reducing confirmation bias and almost instantly crowd sourcing every point of view possible to every idea conceivable. It will also provide the infrastructure for the populace to think and experience a single organism.
