David Wood

¿Es inevitable la muerte? La historia de la humanidad ha estado moldeada por este hecho fatal. Religiones, fronteras y progresos nacen del atávico miedo a la muerte. Hasta hace muy poco tiempo, ese miedo y ese deseo de supervivencia solo encontraba consuelo en paradigmas religiosos. A juicio de Jose Luis Cordeiro y de David Wood, sin embargo, el hecho incontrovertible de la muerte ya puede rebatirse desde fundamentos cientifico-tecnicos.Tal y como explican en este libro divulgativo y accesible, lejos de la oscuridad academica o cientifista, la muerte sera opcional hacia 2045 gracias a los avances exponenciales en inteligencia artificial, regeneracion de tejidos, tratamientos con celulas madre, impresion de organos, criopreservacion, terapias geneticas o inmunologicas que resolveran resuelven ya el problema del envejecimiento del cuerpo humano. Un envejecimiento considerado ahora como una enfermedad que puede y debe ser curada.A partir de una fundamentada utilizacion de los datos y a la vanguardia de las principales iniciativas e ideas sobre como financiar e incluso invertir en el sector del antienvejecimiento, los autores defienden no solo la moralidad sino tambien la urgencia de abordar este tipo de investigaciones.Este ensayo pretende llegar al mayor numero de lectores posible, porque, al fin y al cabo, es la humanidad en su conjunto la que se beneficiara de unos proyectos a los que aun no se presta ni la atencion ni el apoyo necesarios. Como afirma Cordeiro: La ciencia ficcion de hoy es la ciencia real de mañana.
