I intend to live forever by having myself cloned and having my brain surgically transplanted to the younger clone body. I figure in about thirty years someone will figure out how to do it.
And you forgot mummification. There's a company in Seattle that does authentic Egyptian mummification. Then there's always freeze-drying. And however they preserved Vladimir Lenin so he could be on display for decades. Being shot into the sun sounds cool. Or put in a probe and shot out of the solar system. First human DNA sample to burn up entering another planet or sucked into a black hole.
Actually, I like the idea of being shot into a black hole. After all, blackholes are singularities where all the rules of physics no longer apply. Maybe they are the secret doors into heaven (or hell if you watched Dark Horizon).
Fossilization would be cool to. To be found by archeologists a million years or so from now by the species that replaces us after we go extinct.
