Honestly, your reply doesn't appear to be meant to be constructive. I just have to casually scan major news sites for headlines and what is the first one I find when asking google for two search words (not the first search result but the first one relevant to the topic - I only used two words, as I said): BBC, 2015: > Analysis: Antibiotic apocalypse > A terrible future could be on the horizon, a future which rips one of the greatest tools of medicine out of the hands of doctors. Note the "apocalypse" and the "terrible" future. Of course, not sensationalized at all... As for part 2 of your comment all you have to do is read comment sections. Yes, those who ask are told that is not so, but how many ask? Even "scientists": "The scientist planning to upload his brain to a COMPUTER: Research could allow us to inhabit virtual worlds and 'live forever'" - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2879803/The-scientists-planning-upload-brain-COMPUTER-Research-allow-inhabit-virtual-worlds-live-forever.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2879803/The-s... "The Singularity Is Near: Mind Uploading by 2045?" - http://www.livescience.com/37499-immortality-by-2045-conference.html http://www.livescience.com/37499-immortality-by-2045-confere... I'll stop here. And that's from people who actually thought about that subject, in comment sections you find replies from normal people who don't make headlines. Remember the excited comments when the Human Brain Project (HBP) was announced? I just looked at some comments on this very website when the announcement was being discussed... Or a random brain related Slashdot headline: "Why We Should Build a Supercomputer Replica of the Human Brain" (https://slashdot.org/story/13/05/15/1926252/why-we-should-build-a-supercomputer-replica-of-the-human-brain https://slashdot.org/story/13/05/15/1926252/why-we-should-bu...) - actually another person who even looks at the topic a lot and still comes up with such ideas (never mind the comments below).
