Modern advances in medicine and technology have revived ancient dreams of physical immortality. In his article, Dr. Boris Zakharov argues that death is an essential part of life and that immortality contradicts the fundamental principles of biological existence. A transformed, posthuman organism would lose its human biological nature and, with it, the basis for human social relations. We may naturally seek longer and healthier lives, but true immortality may be unattainable – and if it ever becomes real, it may mark the end of humanity.

In this article, Dr. Boris Zakharov explores the complex relationship between truth, scientific knowledge, and belief. He discusses how human understanding of the world has evolved from myth to encompass religion, art, and science, each providing a different perspective on truth. Dr. Zakharov argues that scientific knowledge, belief, and moral ethics are inseparable elements that contribute to our pursuit of truth. The article emphasizes that a balance between these elements is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the world and the continued advancement of science.
