Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
Here’s a column I just wrote on life extension technologies and religion. And here’s a snippet:
Professor Ron Cole-Turner of the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary discussed how life extension could benefit many religious orders. “Technology will inject competition into religion and force religious authorities to clarify what they mean by immortality.” This is important, according to Cole-Turner because “there is currently a lot of evasiveness about what immortality means.”
