Can man live forever?

When I was a child, I always fantasized about being immortal, going to various places and experiencing various things. When I grow up, I gradually realize the fragility of the body and realize that it is impossible for people to live forever as a body. At the time, I felt a little sad, but later I accepted my fate. I accepted my fate in the reality that life is only a few decades short.
Until I watched "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence" last night (because I have never been very interested in anime, I watched this movie after two years), and I remembered the question that I always thought about when I was young . It turns out that people can live forever - as long as they program their own souls and store them in the network. In this way, even if the earth is completely unsuitable for human existence one day, people can still be stored in the program of satellites or spaceships, and go to more distant space to find a new human home. . .
I don’t know if science will develop to such a level in the next few decades. If I can, I must give up my body or prosthetics completely, and dive into the boundless online world to satisfy my endless demands. curiosity.
I don't know if this naive idea of ​​mine is just a variant of the religious soul, but it's a really tempting prospect. Although it may be infinite loneliness, as some say God's sorrow is that he cannot die.
But think about it again, it shouldn't be so lonely, because I still have the memories of my physical existence, as well as the friends I made and the girls I liked when I existed in the physical body. We can meet, communicate, and remember in the online world. . .
Let's develop science quickly, I really hope this naive idea of ​​mine can become a reality.

  • Major Motoko Kusanagi: We weep for a bird's cry, but not for a fish's blood. Blessed are those with a voice. If the dolls also had voices, they would have screamed, "I didn't want to become human."

  • [first title cards]: In a future time when most human thought has been accelerated by artificial intelligence and external memory can be shared on a universal matrix, Batou, an agent of the elite Section 9 Security Force and a being so artificially modified as to be essentially cyborg, is assigned, along with his mostly human partner, Togusa, to investigate a series of gruesome murders.
