Living forever through technology is a terrible idea

Today in class we watched a video that showed a futuristic world in which it is law to have your consciousness loaded onto a computer before you die and live forever. If I were presented with this technology I would not even consider it. To upload your consciousness to a computer and live forever you would be selling your soul in order to live forever in this world. You would exclude yourself from salvation with God. I do believe that a lot of people other than myself would choose to do this however due to people thinking that complete consciousness of this world is better than salvation and a lack of faith in many people. This is the best example of how technology can be unethical I could see future generations excepting this as normall and like in the movie think people who want to die like they are supposed to are crazy for not choosing to live forever through a computer. If we as a society ever let technology get to this point I believe God would end this world and those people who tried to cheat his plan would have to answer for their decisions.

Technological progress isn't moral progress

Francis Bacon talks of how technological progress is moral progress. I would say that in some cases it could help moral progress, however it often times opens people up to more immoral temptation than they would normally encounter as well as it is easier to see other people using technology for immoral things, making it seem more acceptable. It is each persons responsibility to avoid easy accesable immoral temptations, and use the technology we have to progress morally.
