For The Financial News Network you are watching FNNO.com. The Dalai Lama is on board with Russian Inventor's plan to extend human life--INDEFINITELY. Increasingly popular project, named 2045, Dmitry Itskov is part genius and part dreamer. By the year 2045 he aims to fund and implement a 4 stage plan to create undying body's to preserve anyone (presumably) who can afford one. He's asking for $50 Billion to make this dream a reality, and calls it an evolution for mankind, saying that it is imperative that we stop finding solutions for small mundane problems and look to macro-changes in the future.
Step A of Itskov's plan is to create a robotic body, which he thinks will be attained by the year 2020. 5 years later, Step B, he will introduce a live human brain into a mechanical body to sustain life. Step C, in the year 2035 Dmitry see's a person's personality finally getting transferred, and in 2045, Step D, immortality is achieved by integrating a holographic -like avatar to the world. This would be a substance-free personality, that walks, talks, and surpasses humanity in every aspect. Science fiction or Science Fact?
