Instead of sending my ashes into space when I die, just encode my DNA into a waveform and transmit it to the stars | |

"Please look after this human..."

Want to hire a DJ for your funeral?? |

Sounds exactly like a cyberpunk novel. Realware by rudy Rucker touches on the possibility of this technology. |

Not so much Realware to me as another book I read whose title I can't remember... |

in which people's souls are copied into androids with a 1-day lifespan, that do all the work on earth while everyone lives a life of luxury in their real body.
Somewhere in the book there's a part where a dying person has their soul copied and dumped out through a huge antenna into space, to no result. |

Oh, that's about the silliest and most paranoid reaction to this idea one could possibly have. |

On a different note, could you encode your DNA as an mp3? But, once you've heard one, you've heard em all. |
