“We Are Naturally IMMORTAL” Is There Life After Death? Michael Shermer vs Michael Egnor

Human beings have always been obsessed with the question of whether there is life after death, with religion teaching us that there is something more than mere mortality - but mainstream science is decidedly unconvinced.

However, now the tech titans of Silicon Valley claim to have found a third way called transhumanism. They say that if life after death doesn’t exist naturally, maybe it can be engineered through A.I, robotics or nanotechnology.

But how much of all this is science fact and how much of it is science fiction?

Piers Morgan is joined by neurosurgeon Dr Michael Egnor, who is convinced that consciousness exists beyond our mortal bodies, and Dr Michael Shermer, who is far more skeptical.
