¿Inmortalidad digital? La transferencia mental y la búsqueda de la vida eterna
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La búsqueda de la inmortalidad es probablemente tan antigua como la propia humanidad. En las últimas décadas, un grupo de científicos y futuristas que se describen a sí mismos como transhumanistas, han explorado la posibilidad de cargar la mente humana en un ordenador como una posible forma de alcanzar la “inmortalidad”. Este artículo analiza la idea de cargar la mente desde el punto de vista de la antropología teológica y la escatología. Examina las implicaciones de la transferencia mental en nuestra comprensión de la relación entre el cuerpo, la mente y la identidad personal, comparándola con la concepción cristiana de la resurrección.
