Human immortality could be possible by 2045, say Russian scientists

If Dmitry Itskov's 2045 initiative plays out as planned, humans will have the option of living forever with the help of machines in only 33 years.

It may sound ridiculous, but the 31-year-old Russian mogul is dead serious about neuroscience, android robotics, and cybernetic immortality.

He has already pulled together a team of leading Russian scientists intent on creating fully functional holographic human avatars that house artificial brains which contain a person's complete consciousness - in other words, a humanoid robot.

Together, they've laid out an ambitious course of action that would see the team transplant a human brain into an artificial body (or 'avatar') in as little as seven years time.

Now, Itskov is asking the world's richest people for help in financing the project.

In exchange, he's offered to coordinate their own personal immortality projects for free.

"I urge you to take note of the vital importance of funding scientific development in the field of cybernetic immortality and the artificial body," he writes in an open letter to members of the Forbes World's Billionaires List.

"Such research has the potential to free you, as well as the majority of all people on our planet, from disease, old age and even death."

Itskov goes on to offer skeptics a meeting with "a team of the world's leading scientists working in this field " to prove the viability of the concept of cybernetic immortality.

And while many are skeptical that such a plan could ever come to fruition, Popular
Science Magazine points that phase one -- creating a robot controlled by a human brain -- is already well within reach.

"DARPA is already working on it via a program called "Avatar" (which, incidentally, is also the name of Itskov's project) through which the Pentagon hopes to create a brain-machine interface that will allow soldiers to control bipedal human surrogate machines remotely with their minds," writes PopSci's Clay Dillow.

"And of course there are all the ongoing medical prosthesis projects that have shown that the human nervous system can interface with prosthetic enhancements, manipulating them via thought. Itskov draws a clear arc from what we have now to the consciousness-containing holograms that he envisions. All we have to do is attack the technological obstacles in between, one at a time, until we get there."

Discovery's Alyssa Danigelis takes an opposing stance to the very idea.

"There's a world of difference between pursuing a brain-controlled exoskeleton to help paraplegics regain control and wanting to essentially upload a human brain into an artificial body," she writes.

"I read a sci-fi novel involving disembodied live brains once. It didn't turn out well"

Any ways pretty weird but if you follow the link at the bottom of the page it offers a vote on what you think about this.. Just thought it was interesting... I personally wouldn't wanna live forever fuck that... How things are today.. Imagine what things will be like 2045

People have to die. If people don't die then the world will be over populated. Let's just die and go on to the afterlife.

Its not even a race issue anymore... Race isn't shit no more... Its Upper class and Lower Class.. Period...

Who the fuck wants to be on this rock forever? Anybody with a hint of common sense would tell you the same. Its no benefit to living forever. It really isn't, I mean you gotta worry about shit like meteorites and all of the damage that will do to the planet making it inhabitable. Ain't gonna be shit to eat and if the machines gonna be keeping you alive eventually you gonna be begging for someone to kill you because if those machines work like they talking about, you gonna be living in pain forever. Starving & cant eat, stomach aches, body probably ate itself to the bone...and you still alive walking around with the facial features of the grim reaper. Its just too many negatives that out weigh the positives. So nothing good can come from it. Someone can argue that they can learn a lot or whatever but still it won't mean shit. Top of that....this is technology, something that costs money and everybody won't be able to afford some shit like that...so fuck it. On a self-aware & financial tip.

If you have that mentality then you are correct you will always be second and deserve no more then that.. But if you say fuck nothing is gonna keep me down... Go to college or whatever I mean it is free you can get grants... If there is a will there is a way and that has been proven countless times through out history.

[TRUEblue718]

I'M WITH IT, I WOULDN'T WANT TO LIVE SO CALLED FOREVER BUT I WOULDN'T MIND A GOOD 500 YEARS WITHOUT AGING OR DISEASE BASICALLY ON SOME SUPERMAN/CYBORG TERMINATER SHIT...

[AZlife]

Maybe not forever but over 100 years? Ya id want to.
But maybe Im wrong but it seems like theyll make a copy of your brain kinda which would be useless for personal use since if youd be dead who cares if you have a clone unless your like some genius or something working hundreds of years to make the world better.

I was hopin for something more "Mr House"y just cuz the way I see it you are your brain id only pay if it was MY BRAIN

[Qdog718]

if everybody could live that would be 1 thing..but u know the creators of this is gonna be taxing which means if u can survive for eternally then people around u that cant afford it will die on some tom hanks in green mile type sh*t..i'll pass & let nature take its course

you dont even koe what freedom iz and u talkin too a nigga who work and go to school mentality and physically u are a slave u dont make laws you dont own shit in this country just because one nigga make it out the ghetto does not make the whole race free. nigga the only u iz free to do iz get a job and make another white man richer

Well then work to change it set up some laws banning racism call your local senator or representative (whoever makes laws) and talk to them about it.
Also while it may be harder for black people to get ahead they still can if theyre lucky enough just look at Obama hes the president
