A RUSSIAN billionaire has a plan to make himself, and others, live forever. <\/p>\n
Dmitry Itskov, a 31-year-old media mogul, implored other magnates to fund cybernetic immortality and the artificial body - basically transferring human consciousness into a robot body. <\/p>\n
In open letter to the Forbes richest list he wrote, \"Currently you invest in business projects that will bring you yet another billion.\" <\/p>\n
\"You also have the ability to finance the extension of your own life up to immortality. Our civilisation has come very close to the creation of such technologies: it's not a science fiction fantasy. It is in your power to make sure that this goal will be achieved in your lifetime.\" <\/p>\n
According to Mashable, his timetable is tight: <\/p>\n
1. By 2025, scientists will be able to transfer the human brain into a robotic skeleton. <\/p>\n
2. By 2035, an avatar brain will be created and your personality inserted within. <\/p>\n
3. By 2045, humans will walk around in holographic avatars that will never die. <\/p>\n
Indeed, Wired magazine reported that the Russian wants to end the need for surgery and troubleshoot our robo-bodies instead. <\/p>\n
Itskov has said that he has already assembled a team of scientists for the job but still needs more funds to continue the project, reported the National Turk. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
