Abstract

Some studies suggest that the goal of amortality will be attainable in a future, though not so close. Beyond the technical means by which we may be able to achieve this goal, the removal of the ultimate barrier will also pose significant challenges from a socio-political point of view. One of these will undoubtedly be that of equality: our ways of conceiving it make equality in death its starting point. How will our perception of equality change in the face of such a radical removal of the ultimate limit? Moreover, if we regard amortality as a resource, how will we manage access to it and its distribution from a political and institutional point of view? How, finally, will relations within society change? Far from wanting to provide answers, the article raises some questions, recovering some paradigms of the past that seem useful in framing this hypothetical future scenario.
