我很向往!
请相关专业人员回答,非专业勿扰! 并从自然科学的专业角度阐述其根据(带形而上学根据勿引).

Answer 1

A practical way to live forever
I think we will soon have a way to avoid it. Yes, to avoid death. ("See?" Another crazy guy is raving.) Ha-ha. Do you think like that? But I am serious, and that’s why I decided dive my career into neuroscience research. I don’t know whether you, as a girl, interested in science and technology. But no matter that you like or not, it is changing our life, a lot, and it will change that more widely and deeply, and it begins to change something natural!

Have you ever heard of the Blue Brain Project? This is one of the greatest explorations to the mind. Surely you can Google it. Here is the official site: http://bluebrain.epfl.ch/, and here are some newly videos of the project owner professor Henry Markram’s speech:
1. A 15 min one

2. A 1 hour 20 min one, which is more detail, but maybe more difficult to understand for a layman

3, Another one. the project is supported by IBM,1 hour 9 min

4,this is a interview and the relative audio, Henry Markram - Blue Brain Robotics

There are also a lot of other efforts made by other laboratories in different projects, not only blue brain. I just think it is the most outstanding one.

I don’t know whether you would watch it and believe that. But in my eyes, scientists, not only neuroscientists, are on the right way to understand the mind. You can see the strong proof in the video that the model of brain tissues is working and responses very similar to the real tissues. (Some people argue that even the wholly brain was fully copied, the consciousness would never emerge! Because it is given by God, human have no right and ability to make it! I don’t want to argue with them, Henry said, "If it does emerge, we'll be able to tell you how it emerged. If it doesn't, we'll know that it's the result of more than just 100 billion neurons interacting." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124751881557234725.html) Henry have finished his 1st step in the last about 15 years, and he will go further step by step, and he said if he get enough fund, he can recreate a human brain model in 10 years, not soon, but no so far away, too. And that will not be far from understanding the mind, the reason why we feel happy, sad, regret, loved, missing and so on. And the prince and the princess will live happy forever.
