We'd all be forced to watch Peter Jackson's annoyingly inconsistant Frighteners for eternity, while chanting the various errors
Or maybe we'd all sit and laugh at the sillier science in 6th Day, which seems to posit the idea that everything about our personalities could be reproduced through DNA (forgetting nurture. If they'd said the replicas of the bodies also carried the physical results of their life's experience that might have been alright -but heigh ho [EDIT: well actually, maybe they will, i'm still watching it now
That was the pet-cloning sales-pitch bit. Simchords as copies of personality through the eye?? Bah!] They used the dolly-the-sheep experiments too - which have recently "unravelled", along with other experiments by the producing "pharm" which has now gone bust.
The dark sides of cloning aren't here just yet, or likely to turn up in the near future. Some complex things can't be simply maniuplated how some people'd like)
Seriously seriously tho, for me there's no way of analysing it "regardless of belief" and talking about it - coz i believe the odds on our personalities continuing after death are miniscule. You could say we live on to an extent in the hole we leave in others' lives, and the works and effects of actions we leave behind. Our bodies, even in cremation, pass their "energies" to the world around us. That's how i see it. So long as my body's not too toxic i'd like to be buried (or scattered) in my local wood - or somewhere green-amongst-the-urban.
Soz Bealey, but the whole idea of a cinema in heaven is just so cute and hilarious to me
Will there be heavenly popcorn?
