Human minds could be downloaded into robots within 10 years, allowing human beings to 'live forever', says the Russian entrepreneur who heads a hi-tech research project called 'Avatar'.

Itskov, a media entrepreneur, claims to have hired 100 scientists to reach this goal - and is now looking for other scientists to help with the project.

'This project is leading down the road to immortality,' says Itskov. 'A person with a perfect Avatar will be able to remain part of society. People don’t want to die.'


‘I understand these are some very big challenges for scientists,’ Itskov says. ‘But I believe in something you call ‘The American Dream.’ If you put all your energy and time into something, you can make it a reality.

would not this be like something out of Si-Fi like James Blish, or more specifically HERBERT's "Robot Wars" of DUNE of the first part of the series? (brains into the machines for eternal life to evilly rule over mankind indefinitely)

Isnt it funny how Hollywood movies 'inspire' reality.

Science fiction possibly becoming reality... how creepy! I think I'll just stick with being mortal.
