Futurist Claims: 'I'll Help You Live Forever'

Futurist Claims: 'I'll Help You Live Forever': "Want to live forever? How about just an extra thousand years or so? Ian Pearson, a British futurist, says death will be a thing of the past within a few short decades. Pearson is one of many futurists, cybernetic experts, and artificial intelligence researchers whose thoughts are converging on the same basic idea: Why not upload everything that's in the brain—everything that makes a person who they are—into a computer and then download it again into a new body? Doing such a thing would make the individual theoretically immortal."
