“Is death necessary?“, asked biologist G. R. Taylor and stated that in 1968 in the USA alone more than a thousand teams of scientists were working on the issue of growing old and the problem of death. Some people are frozen at their death. They want to be revived as soon as a cure for their disease or the aging process has been found. Most of humanity seems to have the desire to live forever. M...
متن کاملVideoDIMs as a Framework for Digital Immortality Applications
Digital Immortality applications require a type of believability that differs from that of interactive, conversational agents and other types of virtual humans. We are exploring the creation of digitally immortal, virtual humans whose primary visual interface is based only on original media assets of the persons being digitally immortalized. We describe a software framework that supports script...

Some of these characters may be your friends, while others will oppose you. Unlike current video games, being successful in this world won’t just be a matter of who is quickest on the...
متن کاملAging, fertility, and immortality.
Evolutionary theory suggests that fecundity rates will plateau late in life in the same fashion as mortality rates. We demonstrate that late-life plateaus arise for fecundity in Drosophila melanogaster. The result qualitatively fits the evolutionary theory of late life based on the force of natural selection. But there are a number of alternative interpretations. Fecundity plateaus could be sec...

The ideal experiment would be one in which status and money could somehow be dropped upon a sub-sample of individuals while those in a control group received neither.
