I've had my doubts about SENS' ability to get people motivated in the past but it seems like they are finally getting some real funding and research underway. Hopefully Aubrey's hypothesis works out for all of us in the coming decades. If not, we're all dead.

The Russia 2045 movement wants to get our brains into avatars as fast as possible - perhaps before our generation would need rejuvenation therapies. Of course for the brain we still might need them. So there's that too.

I don't know a whole lot about that concept, but I would wager that we are far closer to bio-rejuvination therapies than we are to uploading our conscience into a computer.

If you´re curious about the 2045 project (which has been redubbed Global Future 2045, btw) there are links and videos in a post I did here: Brain Mapping, Uploading, and Immortality — Part I (Dmitry Itskov) http://homoartificialis.wordpress.com/2012/03/04/brain-mapping-uploading-and-immortality-part-i-dmitry-itskov/

I don't know if it has been simply a lack of motivation so much as a sense of profound religious dread. But here is to hoping Aubrey's hypothesis does pan out and that, even more so, people abandon the things keeping them from asking the questions that need to be asked and seeking the technologies that need to be sought.
