Death and technology

Nowadays people have switched their faith to science and technology hoping to get immortality and defeat death. But is this not another illusion to go against our destiny of being mortals?
Can cyborgs still be considered humans? If we upload somebody's mind in a cloud and then put it in robots, can we still say that he/she is still the same person?
What about all the information that we are unconscious of or are stored in our cells?
Finally, are we considering all the risks related to modifying people genetically?
In the crazy search for immortality we risk to put an end to humanity and destroy the planet.
