Google Versus Death; To Be, Or Not to Be?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Google It

Abstract

“Can Google Solve Death?” graced the cover of the TIME Magazine on September 30, 2013. “We’re going to gradually enhance ourselves,” said Ray Kurzweil, futurist and engineering director at Google. “That’s the nature of being human—we transcend our limitations.” Pacemakers, prosthesis, stentrode, optogenetics, antibiotics, and other medical advancements exemplify the use of technology to prolong life and to improve quality of life. Even Pope Francis gave his blessing to human-animal chimera research for organ transplants. We are all transhumanists in varying degrees.

Are people really focused on the right things? One of the things I thought was amazing is that if you solve cancer … it’s not as big an advance as you might think.

—Larry Page
