The Dalai Lama Supports 2045’s Avatar ProjectImmortality is something all of us have thought of, but nobody really takes seriously. A 31-year-old Russian man named Dmitry Itskov wants you to seriously consider the possibility of living forever, and perhaps even plan on being able to do so by 2045. His plan, called simply "The 2045 Initiative," will sound familiar if you've seen the James Camera blockbuster "Avatar" — and he just needs a few billion dollars to make it a reality.
Itskov's project has several phases, with each step bringing mankind closer to the ultimate goal living forever. The first step in the project is to create robotic humans that can be controlled remotely. He plans on crossing this hurdle by 2020 at the latest. Then, by 2025, a human brain will be transferred into a robotic skeleton to continue life after death. By 2035, the avatar's brain will be constructed separately, and your own personality will simply be "transferred" into it when you are ready to end your human existence. And finally, by the year 2045, humans will be able to walk around in holographic avatars for eternity, never fearing death.

So they are going to put our "personality" into a fake brain? Or am I reading it wrong? Would that mean we wouldn't remember are past?

This is the first thing I thought of also. Will probably be a copy/clone of yourself and not a transfer, no thanks.Originally Posted by thecpthree
Also probably unprovable if it works or not because it would be a perfect copy that knows everything you knew.

This isn't new.
The technological singularity if it happens somewhere between 2045-2050 might mean we can live forever.
The big issue is how do you transfer/download your consciousness form your brain. If it is transferred is it really you? the machine would think you are you and you would think you are you.
Even if you had nanobots slowly replacing your biological brain with a robotic brain atom by atom at some stage it will get to the point where you wont be you anymore.
