The human race has always feared the same enemy — time. But what if death stopped being the end?

AI memorials, voice clones, and “mind uploading” projects are quietly turning grief into a software problem. Startups like Eternime and HereAfter use recorded data — chats, photos, tone of voice — to create digital avatars that keep speaking long after you’re gone.

Some find comfort in it. Others call it disturbing. Imagine calling your late father’s AI replica for advice — and hearing him answer in his own cadence. The lines between remembrance and resurrection blur fast

Neuroscientists are even exploring connectome mapping, the process of digitizing neural pathways — essentially, backing up the brain. If consciousness is just data, then immortality becomes a matter of storage.

But there’s a haunting question underneath: if an algorithm perfectly mimics your mind, is it still you? Or just an echo that thinks it’s alive?

Digital immortality isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s a moral mirror — forcing us to confront what it really means to be human, and what parts of us are worth preserving.
