Comment on If I was a secret immortal how long could I keep the same US ID for before I get taken away for study. I'm thinking 150 years.

Or just commit identity theft. That one you could probably do once a decade, or more; just keep a running file of unsolved disappearances of children and teens and pull another one out whenever the age more-or-less fits.

Continue having children throughout your immortality every 20 years or so. Make sure you have an child of the gender equal to your own, and on their 21st birthday, you switch identities with them. You sit for their picture on their newly issued ID on their 21st birthday, and suddenly its your picture that is the one of record for the legal 21 year old. Your child takes over you identity, grows old, and dies. Repeat ad infinitum.

  Child didn’t have to survive birth. I think that is what happens in highlander, he finds dead children’s names and takes them.

  It’s like a ponzi scheme. You take their identity and now they have to start the process themselves

Seems like you’ve given this some thought.
