Immortal avatars: Back up your brain, never die - life - 07 June 2010 - New Scientist

Immortal avatars: Back up your brain, never die - life - 07 June 2010 - New Scientist: "ZOE GRAYSTONE is a girl with two brains. Only one of them is human: the other is an exact digital copy that has become conscious in its own right.
