Only her cancer cells. If I sequence my DNA and store it in the cloud, do I live forever?

Well, technically, I would say that DNA, itself, is not alive. However, cells are alive. But, does her Helen’s spirit reside with her living cells? If an organ is transplanted into a recipient, does the donor receive more than tissue?

So many questions...
