Opis

Although immortality seems to become a target, modern technologies have proposed new solutions to address the subject in a more realistic manner than mythology or science fiction, often very fascinating. Such technologies do not border on the absurd, instead, they rely on some recent scientific data and research in physics and biology, abandoning conventional processes - excellent in their time, but today they tend to limit the horizon of thought and knowledge. The idea of cybernetic immortality is to induce our consciousness in a virtual space. If this virtual space will be temporary, as ours, or immortal, it will, of course, depend on software that we do, to get into those spaces. Of course, all these presume that our perceptions, feelings, emotions and our existence are the result of electrical impulses, to whose dominion will handle those able to get up there when we take existence in a virtual world. Thus we ask a normal question: Is it possible that man - every person on Earth - to live forever? Some believe that it is and even want this, some are afraid that it is possible, some hope not and others are convinced that it isn't possible.
