Will We Be The Last Generation to Die? The Technology Behind Immortality is Almost Here

We’re fast approaching the moment when humans and machines merge. Welcome to the Singularity movement. Singularity: Kurzweil on 2045, When Humans, Machines Merge! Click on image for article.

Transhumanism is a growing philosophical movement among leading business leaders, scientists, artists, politicians and futurists. They believe that the future of humanity lies in a post-human world. In Becoming God, David Herbert traces the philosophic and scientific roots of this movement, through the changes brought with The Enlightenment, the Victorian era, religious humanism and secular humanism, leading to the rise of transhumanism.

  • Will We Be The Last Generation to Die?
    by Alex Beam, https://www.bostonglobe.com/
    THE NEXT TIME you are in a public place, look around and consider: These are the last people on earth who are going to die.

    If you keep up with the latest developments in CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) gene-editing technology, that’s the conclusion you would have to take away. In May, over a hundred scientists and other interested parties attended a closed-door meeting at Harvard to discuss fabricating a human genome from scratch.
    –
    Within my lifetime, it seems inevitable that genome production and gene-editing will eliminate many congenital diseases and even abate the aging process itself. Within your lifetime, if you are under 30, molecular biologists may be promising not just longevity, but immortality.
    –
    So we will be the last to die: Generation Death.
    –
    The social implications are enormous. Births, once at a premium, will become more rare, almost like planned replacement parts. The economic effects seem impossible to parse. Men and women might opt for a few decades of productive work followed by an Elysian life of leisure. Or, with a nod to science fiction, we could breed a working class. Let the Unit-3000s do all the work.
    –
    I’m interested in the religious implications of genomic immortality. Isn’t Christianity’s greatest claim that its Savior conquered death? But suppose the Broad Institute over on Main Street in Cambridge can make that same promise, in fifteen years or so? Where does that leave the world’s largest religion, and theology?
    –
    The Personal Genetics Education Project, based at the Harvard Medical School, invited a minister to offer a Christian perspective on recent advances in genetic technology. (He asked not to be identified, because he intends to refine his views in the future.) He explained the doctrine of “Imago dei,” meaning that the human body is sacrosanct because (Genesis 1:27) it is created in the image of God.
