| Summary: | Empirical science has traditionally deemed itself unqualified to address the topic of immortality, viewing it as beyond its purview. However, in recent times, numerous proponents of the transhumanism movement have posited the potential for fostering a form of immortality within the confines of space-time. The most prevalent proposition involves adopting an algorithmic understanding of the human mind and attempting to substitute the conventional biological substrate with an electronic one. Other endeavors focus on combating the typical causes of aging and death through the advancements of scientific progress. An objective scrutiny of these methodologies reveals them to be implausible. Tradicionalmente, la ciencia empírica no se ha visto capacitada para abordar el tema de la inmortalidad, por considerarlo ajeno a sus competencias. Pero recientemente diversos autores pertenecientes a la corriente del transhumanismo reivindican la posibilidad de propiciar una forma de inmortalidad dentro del horizonte del espaciotiempo. La propuesta más común consiste en partir de una concepción algorítmica de la mente humana y tratar de cambiar el habitual soporte biológico por otro electrónico. Otros intentos se basan en combatir con ayuda del progreso científico las causas habituales de envejecimiento y muerte. Un análisis objetivo de estos planteamientos los presenta como inverosímiles. |
