The document discusses research conducted by Catherine McHugh on the potential for a virtual reality afterlife. It includes links to articles about living as an avatar in virtual worlds, the possibility of continuing one's existence in a virtual world after death, and emerging technologies that may allow consciousness to be preserved digitally. McHugh's proposed product is a "Virtual Heaven" service that would copy a person's brain at death and simulate it within a computer to allow them to continue living in a virtual world and visit others there.
