Russian Billionaire Plans To Make HumansImmortal By 2045
A Russian billionaire hasunveiled plans to make humans immortal by converting them into “Terminator-style” cyborgs – a creature that’s part human and part machine – within the next three decades.
Thirty two-year-old mogul, Dmitry Itskov has been pushing the projectforward since 2011 when he founded the 2045 Initiative.
His ultimate goal is to transfer a person’s mind or consciousness from a living brain into a machine with that its personality and memories intact.
The so called “Cyborg” will have no physical form, and exist in a network similar to the Internet and be able to travel at the speed of light all over the Earth, or even into the space.
Itskov’s first highly ambitious goal, called Avatar A, involves a person controlling a robotic human replica through a brain-machineinterface (BMI), a technology that already exists.
The deadline for this firststage is set for 2020. TheAvatar B, due in 2025, would involve transplanting a human brain into an artificial body “at the end of one’slife.”
Next in line is the Avatar C, that rolls around in 2035, that would also involve a human-machinebrain transplant, but withall personality intact.
Itskov hopes the Initiative will have learned enough about the human mind to free it completely from physical form finally, by 2045.
According to the report, from the Internet-like hive mind, individual personalities could manifest themselves as holograms when they need to interact with their environment.
“We believe that it is possible and necessary to eliminate ageing and even death, and to overcome the fundamental limits of the physical and mental capabilities currently set by the restrictions of the physical body,” the project website says.
Itskov is recruiting scientists and authoring an open letter to the UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, asking him to support to push society’stransition to “neo-humanity.”

With science everything is possible. Keeping the open mind.

Is this an investment topic?

When I remember that adolf hitler,josef satlin,pol pot & lots of evil people that've roamed the earth then death is an ideal neutralizing factor.....I'm against it o

This world of ours will turn into a sci-fi horror film in future with all these inventions and research. Cyborg ke? Even if they're able to put the persons thoughts and feelings into this cyborg device, how do they expect to preserve body and soul forever. Mr. Billioniaire should find something more meaningful to invest his money on.
