Transfer of consciousness. Considering its possibility or fantasy from the religious and scientific perspectives
Dialogo June 30, 2021 Tudor-Cosmin Ciocan, Any Docu Axelerad, Maria Ciocan et al.
The text explores the convergence of ancient religious beliefs—such as astral projection, possession, and reincarnation—with modern neurotechnology that may enable transferring human consciousness to a synthetic body. It argues that what was once considered spiritual or not materially real is now becoming a plausible technological possibility, driven by advances in artificial intelligence and brain-computer interfaces. The authors propose that these developments could foster a holistic understanding of consciousness, merging religious and neuroscientific perspectives. They suggest that if eternal life through synthetic embodiment were possible, it could benefit the world, though they leave room for further investigation.
