Well, it exists as long as you see it that way. I mean people might strive for immortality in this regard as long as they feel they exist. Without realizing it, or better yet experiencing it yourself, it's kind of hard to concieve concepts so different from what we know and experience now. So if humanity makes it to this point - with all the futuristic technology - I'm sure problems like these will fade out as people adapt. After all, if it's commonplace, at this x point in the future, to get implants and become some trans-human, it's probably not too extreme to take that extra step to immortality (whatever is the thing that's immortal in this case).
