追逐长生梦的5大亿万富豪

德米特里•伊茨科夫

    俄罗斯亿万富豪、媒体大亨德米特里•伊茨科夫去年发起了“2045行动”，引起了外界的轰动。这个组织邀请了30位顶尖的俄罗斯科学家，成立了国际研究中心对人类永生进行研究。31岁的德米特里•伊茨科夫是新传媒星（New Media Stars）的总裁，这家俄罗斯公司经营着几家网络新闻媒体。他号召其他亿万富豪开始为“控制论的永生和人工躯体”提供资助。他的计划是把人类意识转移到远程控制的化身，或者说合成大脑——他把这个阶段看做人类进化的下一步。

Dmitry Itskov

    Russian billionaire and media mogul Dmitry Itskov made a big splash last year when he created the 2045 Initiative, which brought 30 top Russian scientists on board to create an international research center to study immortality. The 31-year-old president of New Media Stars, a Russian company that runs several online news outlets, has implored other billionaires to start funding "cybernetic immortality and the artificial body." His plan: transfer the human consciousness to a remotely controlled avatar, or a synthetic brain -- what he sees as the next step in human evolution.
