In a not-so-distant future, a groundbreaking feat is achieved as the brain of a dying man finds its new home in a youthful body. Achieving a seemingly miraculous transfer of consciousness. Yet, as this extraordinary amalgamation unfolds, intriguing complexities arise when traces of the previous inhabitant’s mind linger within the rejuvenated vessel. Consequently, a profound and ethical struggle emerges, intensifying the debate over rightful ownership of this newly created being, sparking questions about identity, autonomy, and the boundaries of existence.
