Yes to Human Cloning (Greek): Eternal Life Thanks to Science

by Rael Leyla

This book is to prepare us for an unimaginably beautiful world turned paradise, where nanotechnology will make agriculture and heavy industry redundant, where super artificial intelligence will quickly outstrip human intelligence and do all the boring tasks, where eternal life will be just as possible in a computer as in a series of constantly rejuvenated bodies, and where the world could be a place of leisure and love where no one need work no more.

cómo quisiera vivir en el futuro

When I first began reading this book, I didn't know anything about Rael or his religion. Some of his predictions for the future seemed very plausible and exciting, including the idea of living forever and never dieing (which his explanation for made sense). Unfortunately, since finishing the book, I've read other ideas/claims of his that just seem outright ridiculous and make it harder to take his other, sensible ideas about the future as seriously. At one point he insists that "no one lifts a finger in protest" against the cruel exploitation of animals (comparing it with that of robots who would hypothetically have no thought and no emotion, a poor comparison in my opinion) which shows a lot of ignorance considering that there are hundreds of protests every day against this. I may read more books by him in the future for entertainment value.
