"or perhaps when the new cloning laws are in place you can live forever"

Oh, I beg to differ.

Clones are clearly separate individuals. A clone may share my genetic makeup, but not my experiences which more than anything else shape my personality, my knowledge and my experience.

A clone would be more like having a twin. Similar, but different. Now, if we could figure out a way to transplant my brain into a clone then we're talking. Under that circumstance there is no way Bob or Dave could prevent me from continuing the lifetime subscription indefinitely. True, a couple of hundred years from now Bob may grow suspicious about my longevity, but without a death certificate he doesn't have a legal pot to piss in.

I'll take it to the Supreme Court if I have to. Be funny if all the sitting judges 200 years from now are the same folks sitting there today.
