Transhumanist Elements[править]
"A seamless jump into a disease free body of your choosing" is one of the sentences spoken during a commercial near the start of the film. Consciousness transfer is the key element behind the plot. However, it is presented in a form of "faux" Transhumanism. Although the transfer of memories is successful, it is revealed that person being transferred to a new host body is in fact killed by the procedure.
