Question Description
Choose one option only between 450-550 words, use the 2 attached files and this link: https://nickbostrom.com/ethics/dignity.html
Option #1
A. J. Ayer reports on his Near-Death experience to the effect that it was profound and powerful but moved him only very slightly with respect to his belief about an After-Life. Why only slightly? What can the significance of those sorts of experiences be for the idea of the After-Life or Immortality?
Option #2
Both Hick and Cave claim that the idea of resurrection is somehow incoherent, or unintelligible. Apparently, the source of that problem ultimately lies in confusing Resurrection with Reanimation. Do they have that right?
Option #3
Why should it be, for Hick, that the idea of Resurrection gets itself all involved with the apparatus of Heaven and Hell?
Option #4
Hick proposes – and given what Cave says, he would certainly agree – that the teleportation device – the “transporter” – in Star Trek presents the replica problem in a strong way. Why is that, and why should it matter for Captain Kirk (or Picard, or whoever the latest Captain might be)?
