Will we soon be able to prolong our lives, even perhaps live forever? By uploading our minds to computers, slowly replacing our organic neurons with silicon chips, buying or stealing young organs from others, reversing the degeneration caused by aging, or freezing our bodies? How many methods of cheating death will become available?
Would cheating death in these ways be wise, or moral? Would you want to live forever? Are you afraid you might be forced to live forever even if you wanted to die?
Join us in GeekSpeak on Saturday at noon SLT to discuss what all this will mean for humanity. Bring all your friends! It’s a matter of life and death!
IM Vulcan Viper teaches a meditation class every Wednesday in the GeekSpeak auditorium if you have ideas for new subjects.
