‘2045 INITIATIVE’:<br />
THE TECHNOLOGY TO<br />
GAIN ETERNAL LIFE<br />
Dmitry Itskov, a Russian media mogul and multi-millionaire,<br />
has one goal: to be able to use technology to live forever. To<br />
be able to do this, he is currently heading a science-based<br />
project called the ‘2045 initiative’ which aims to “upload”<br />
human consciousness into an online avatar that can live<br />
forever.<br />
Itskov has given millions of dollars into pioneering the<br />
research since the initiative was launched. His team of<br />
scientists, believe that the human brain is very similar to a<br />
computer and will eventually be able to be transferred to<br />
upgradable “bodies”.<br />
Itskov claims that he has upped the urgency of his research.<br />
"If there is no immortality technology, I'll be dead in the<br />
next 35 years," he says in an upcoming documentary,<br />
The Immortalist. “The ultimate goal of my plan is to<br />
transfer someone's personality into the new artificial carrier.<br />
Different scientists call it uploading or they call it mind<br />
transfer. I prefer to call it personality transfer."<br />
