Can We Be Sure of Mortality? A Lawyer's Brief

By William Atwell Cheney

Book Overview

""Can We Be Sure of Mortality? A Lawyer's Brief"" is a thought-provoking book written by William A. Cheney. The author, who is a lawyer, explores the concept of mortality and whether we can truly be certain of our own mortality. The book delves into various philosophical and scientific arguments that challenge the traditional belief that death is inevitable and that all living beings must eventually die. Cheney presents a compelling case for the possibility of immortality, drawing on examples from history, religion, and modern science. He argues that advancements in medical technology and the potential for human consciousness to be uploaded to machines could lead to a future where death is no longer a certainty. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers with a range of backgrounds and interests. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the nature of life and death, and the potential for humans to transcend the limits of mortality.1910.
