Inmortal: la vida en un clic Vivir eternamente está a nuestro alcance

In September 2013, the headline on Time magazine read “Can Google Solve Death?” A few months prior to the article, some of the most brilliant minds on the planet gathered in Silicon Valley to launch an ambitious project titled Initiative 2045, in which biotechnologists, physicians, engineers, physicists, and computer scientists worked together with the goal to achieve immortality. Yes, it is as disturbing as it sounds. This controversial project is perhaps the most fantastic adventure that has taken man from his laboratories, a job that confronts unpredictable ethical and moral consequences. The author of this book, well versed in science, brings all questions of this revolutionary breakdown to the table. Step by step, he comments on advances that are taking place all around us. Are stimulants helpful to keep a brain active? Can every human being choose if he or she wants to live or not? What global laboratories are working on prolonging life? Are we closer to achieving immortality than we know?
