His recent work focuses on the role of spirituality and consciousness within science, for our health system and our culture at large.We were introduced to his work by our friend Neil Douglas Klotz who recommended a presentation that Professor Walach did speaking to his belief that scientific research called transhumanism into extending life and doing away with death altogether, is a bad idea because death is an important and necessary part of our lives.Professor Wallach discusses the impact of death and the dangers of transhumanism. He argues that death is an important part of life and gives meaning to our existence. He highlights the risks of artificially extending life, such as the loss of value in decision-making and the creation of a gerontocracy. He also criticizes the elitism and colonialism inherent in the pursuit of life extension. Professor Wallach explores the limitations of technology in achieving immortality and emphasizes the importance of consciousness in understanding life. The conversation explores the ethical considerations of prolonging life and the commodification of the human body. The speakers discuss the balance between prolonging life and maintaining quality of life, as well as the importance of fair and equitable access to medical interventions. They also touch on the fear of death and how it is used as a marketing tool. **************E-Mail: [email protected]    [email protected] CHS-InstituteBooks   - Brücken zwischen Psychotherapie und Spiritualität   - Hugo de Balma – Die Wege nach Sion trauern   - Das große Komplementär-Handbuch   - Spiritualität -  Secular Spirituality   - Psychologie: Wissenschaftstheorie -Editor Complementary Medicine ResearchEditor Springer Series Neuroscience Consciousness SpiritualitySupport the showWe very much want to hear your thoughts.
