RE: Downloading Consciousness So You Can Live On Forever. Would You Want To? Conversation Starter!
Population and climate change along with pollution would be of even more of a concern if we lived even twice as long as we do. In theory we never die anyways, we just take on a new form of energy.
True, but if everyone did this in this hypothetical instance , when they died ( download their consciousness to a robotic state) It would cut out reproduction. Also, slowly killing off the human race.
Those robotic bodies would just take different resources and also require maintenance. I think we would have many of the same issues with robot body's and the flaw would be that they have a human conscious. How much energy and resources would be required to sustain a growing population of robot humans that never die. Would we forbid human reproduction at some point?
