IMMORTALITY & GLOBAL FUTURES CONFERENCE
What is necessary for a human to attain complete and total immortality?
— our project is to develop and demonstrate a machine brain transfer, in
particular to accept some relatively simple characteristics of a human
brain, such as limited personality or knowledge, and transfer portions to a machine brain, whereby those
characteristics could be given life longevity far exceeding that of
the original human, and perhaps establishing an idea of immortality —
Total and complete immortality of man could result as soon as the year 2035 according to Ray Kurzweil and leading futurist scientists.

For example, Dmitry Itskov, a Russian multimillionaire, wants to build
lifelike copies of humans by 2035 that could eventually be uploaded with
the contents of a real human brain.
