One point not mentioned so far: There is actually no reason to believe that the human memory is unlimited - someday you (in all likelihood) will either forget stuff you have learned and forget your previous life or you will be unable to learn or memorize new stuff. We currently do not know what will happen - and we have no reason to believe that the human memory can be changed (e.g. expanded by technical means).

Would you want to live for a longer time - if the timespan you can actually remember will not grow? Or if you would be unable to learn new stuff, accommodate to new technologies, etc after a given timespan?
