whether your talking upon death or by some action performed while living...do you think it will ever be possible to survive without your body via something we would think of now as a computer.

Does anyone know of any writings on this idea?

Who needs heaven...I want to be put in the internet when I die! :)

We perceive infinite as something that has no beginning or ending. How would an infinite perceive another infinite...? Furthermore, is it possible for two infinites to exist in a single reality?

Here are two moral dilemas posed by a philosopher whose name I have forgotten. I'm interested in hearing what your choices would be and why.

a) 5 people are on a railway track. There is a trolley speeding toward them and they will surely be killed. You are near a lever that can divert the trolley onto another track, but there is one person on it, who will die if you pull the lever. Inaction will result in 5 deaths. What do you do? Do you sacrifice 1 to save 5? Ponder a moment then try the next one.

b) 5 people are on a railway track. There is a trolley speeding toward them and they will surely be killed. You are standing on a bridge above the track, and next to you is a person who is heavy enough to stop the trolley. Do you push them onto the track, sacrificing 1 to save 5? Inaction will result in 5 deaths.

* Extra consideration for providing your reasoning and also for the name of the philosopher with a referenced source

that was part of one of the answers that I got for another question, "no one cares", I told them I do I care, but I am going to be alone on Christmas and no one really cares, no big dinner, no big presents, no decorations, what do you do for me what do you say? How are you going to find me if I live right in your own neighborhood, what if this internet is the only way I have to reach out to the world? Then what?

For many people, when they are given a scenario They can give the best plan of action with eaze. But when they find themself in the real situaton, they tend to stumble.

For instance, a person could be asked what they would do if someone told a lie about them to a large crowd of people. They might say that they would be calm and tell everyone that it was a lie and maybe give some points why it's false. But a few days later when they step into work and the entire office has been told that they are in fact gay, they might scream out in their defence and act completly irrational.

It has been said that this is because when people are just given a scenario they are clear-minded as they are not caught up in the problem emotionally, but when they are in the situation they are emotionally attached and blinded by what they feel.

What are your thoughts on this?

I have a question for you all. I am writing a Philosophy paper and was wondering your thoughts on what I was writing. The question starts out with a story about parents whos daughter is in the hospital and needs a bone marrow transplant. The daughter is 19 years old and has been waiting in the hospital for a transplant for months and no sign of a donar. The parents then take it upon themselves to have a child to be the donar for her. Take note that the child has to be a year old in order for them to use the marrow for her. Do you find this ethical? I keep coming up with the same answer and Im telling you it does not make up enough pages for my paper.

For me it will be 25 as i will be young but would have loss the boyish face for a matured one...

also i will be well above the legal age of 21 to do many things like clubbing and drinking beer...

And 25 is within the range of your physical peak therefore i can enjoy playing sports....

Technology and our knowledge base is advancing exponentially. Will it not reach a point at some time when we will get totally lost in it all? Like in an immense jungle.. Will we need some new way of sorting information? Or do we already have strategies we can use?
