While I do not have anything against this research and tech, I do hope everyone knows that man cannot run from what is destined to happen. When Revelations of the bible takes place man cannot hide is cyberspace nor can you truly escape death.

Jesus is the only road to immortality. God Bless you all.

I can only think of two (a movie and a manga) that has the "implant your mind" into someone else for immortality....
SPOILERS
Deadman Wonderland
Professor Layton movie (the title was longer, I can only remember it having the word eternal Diva or something)
END OF SPOILERS
Maybe more movies should do this haha

Hebrews 9:27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for when to die once and after this comes judgment.

Everybody already does have eternal life some of those to heaven and some of those to hell. If you repent of your sin and place your trust in Jesus Christ for taking that punishment for you when He died on the cross than you will be in heaven for all eternity when you die. Just the opposite for those who believe in Buddha or any other false religion will end up in hell for eternity.

John 14:6 Jesus said I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.

Interesting stuff. I once heard a saying - "Nothing is impossible if we can imagine it." So I guess only time will tell if we can actualize the potential to become immortal through tech.

This article is very insulting to god, god has nothing to do with technology, technology wasn't even built by god himself!, for someone to say ohhhh forget waiting on god, lets just take matters into our own hands, how dare they???!!

thats insulting, no one but god can make us immortal, just live your lives people as normally and when the time is right god will come.
This sounds like the work of atheists if you ask me, very rude!.

This is no threat to christian thinking. If you believe that God exists you should not only believe he is immortal but ETERNAL. No start and no end. Scripture says that a day is as a thousand years to the Lord. Even if you can upload your mind into another reality or internet or whatever, the day will still come when you must "die" and face judgement. It wouldnt matter if it was tonite or millions of years from now. What is a million years to someone who has no start or end? And what are we delaying exactly? Are you really so sure that this life is all you should hope for? Just sayin..

epic comments in here, the lot.

Immortality huh... I wonder whether we will reach that stage first where we become one with robots or the stage where AI robots themselves will completely take control of us.. ending the human race... It is a great risk as our body is definitely not possible to live for eternity unless one keeps on changing his or her body. Hahaha:D but still if we intend to achieve something as risky as this we as scientist, programmers, chemist and physisist must take into account the dangers and progress step by step with caution and not with recklessness.
