Some technology experts are striving for immortality by relentlessly researching the possibility of bio-hacking – a technique which sees technology replace parts of the human form. And while scientists believe we will one day be able to live forever, they also claim it will come from a major sacrifice. Bio-hacking experts James Horton and Nicholas Priest, both from the University of Bath, write for The Conversation: “Modern science has opened an assortment of new ways to improve survival, and now members of the technology-driven ultra-rich are adopting these new approaches in an attempt to extend their own lives.
“Nature seems set to deny our human forms from having it all. So what will it be: humanity, or something else entirely?”
The duo believe that in order to live forever, we will have to completely abandon our human form, which opens up the philosophical question: what will life become?
Leading entrepreneurs at the tech capital Silicon Valley, including the likes of Elon Musk and Russian researcher Dmitry Itskov, are investing millions of dollars into the possibility of transcending into a more robotic form.
“Ongoing research, they’d argue, is already yielding fruit, and it’ll only be exponential progress from here.
“But, perhaps unfortunately, our research has shed light on the considerable drawbacks in health that may well come as a consequence of our meddling with anti-ageing therapies.”
