The '2045 Initiative' Says Immortality Will Come Via Brain Computers And Hologram Bodies In 30 Years

Want to be immortal? A Russian group called the 2045 Initiative has a plan, and they hope to make it a reality during our lifetimes. From their website:
"The main objectives of the Initiative are: the creation of a new vision of human development that meets global challenges humanity faces today, realization of the possibility of a radical extension of human life by means of cybernetic technology, as well as the formation of a new culture associated with these technologies."
These "cybernetic technologies" take many forms. In the end the group, founded by Dmitry Itskov in February of 2011, think humans can attain immortality not by outsmarting disease and pathogens, but by harnessing nanotechnology, robots and brain-computer interfaces to create hologram bodies with artificial brains that can be programmed with your own personality.
