SANTA FE, N.M. (PRWEB) December 04, 2017 -- Author Jan Fawcett, M.D., has released “Living Forever – A Novel” which presents an intriguing philosophical discussion about the ethics involved in the progression of humanity and technology.
“Living Forever” introduces readers to sixty-eight-year-old Dr. Ian Farrell who is facing imminent death after a grim cancer diagnosis. However, he has no idea that he will soon have a tempting carrot dangled in front of his nose: the chance to live forever.
When Ian lands back in the hospital for more tests, two agents from a governmental research agency ask him to submit to an attempted transfer of his mind to an electronic chip. With very little time left to live, Ian accepts.
