In a sense, they do. Death is a transitory experience, and the idea of existing in virtual space is it being an improvement over not. You are no longer bound by time in the way human's are now, and can then do much more than we can do. GITS is part of the answer, which is to merge with machine, however it doesn't go too deep into unified consciousness; The first movie explores this with the 'merge' idea of Motoko and The PuppetMaster aka Project 2501.
Thanks for the Vote :)
Thats Transhumanism.
The Conspiracy Theory says that eventually we will combine ourselves with technology and once we do we will lose ourselves to whoever has control. Erase memories, change emotions, take away freethought.
that's not transhumanism, however what you speak of it is a result of ego being the controling force behind the super intelligent machines. Understand that the technology involved with uploading consciousness and merging yourself with a machine body, interface, or "mode" is a transcendent act. The synapses used in this new technology are billions of times faster than our own and will not have the need of the reptilian brain. Our desire for control, and thus anxiety and paranoia, comes from the reptilian brain that we've evolved from. The process of merging with machines rids us of ego and gives us higher-dimensional abilities, particularly exceeding the current constraints time has on us. We can't predict what super intelligence will do because we aren't it, however I feel it's obvious to say that the super machine intelligence would have no need for ego because it has no need to fear death or conquer life the way we humans do.
Remove the fear from your thoughts and see what remains :)
I'm sure your thinking of a robot body with out emotions. You don't technology for none of that, you can control your emotions and ego if you're smart enough. A robot brain robot body is just a crunch.

I love that anime. It did make me think about life.
