Istkov’s avatar project: a step toward human immortality as predicted by Rael

LAS VEGAS, July 23 – According to a statement released today by the International Raelian Movement (IRM), Rael, the IRM’s founder and spiritual leader, has expressed enthusiastic support for Russian entrepreneur Dmitry Itskov, who recently announced his intent to proceed with an avatar project that will offer billionaires the means to transplant their brains into robot bodies within 10 years.

“According to several sources, Itskov has hired 30 scientists to reach this goal,” said Brigitte Boisselier, spokesperson of the International Raelian Movement. “And he hopes to collaborate with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is already researching ways for troops to control androids by using their minds.”

But this concept is nothing new to Raelians, she said.

“Transplanting a brain into a new body is one of the exact steps toward human immortality Rael described almost 40 years ago,” Boisselier explained. “He made this specific prediction in his book ‘Intelligent Design,” published in 1974, and then elaborated on it in another book, ‘Yes to Human Cloning,’ published in 2001.”

According to Boisselier, the possibility of reaching eternal life through cloning (the scientific re-creation of a human being) plus a personality upload into the new cloned body is one of the tenets of the Raelian philosophy. But it has yet to gain wide societal acceptance, she said.

“Our viewpoint on human cloning prompted huge debates and a legal ban on human cloning 10 years ago, when the first human clone was about to be born,” Boisselier stated. “For Raelians, there is no god and no afterlife in heaven. We human beings were created by highly advanced, extraterrestrial human scientists. But some things were left for us to do on our own. The only way we will live forever is to scientifically recreate our bodies and personalities on this Earth that is meant to be our paradise.”

Boisselier, who heads two companies, Clonaid and Stemaid, said that most of the scientific advances predicted by Rael, including human cloning, traveling faster than the speed of light, and witnessing still smaller particles within what was formerly considered to be the smallest, are all happening now, just as planned.

“Rael’s prophecies, dismissed as science fiction fantasies not so long ago, were meant to become reality before 2035, the time at which we will know all major scientific principles,” she said. “We’re grateful to entrepreneurs like Istkov for their help in making that happen even sooner. The cloning specialists at Clonaid, a company based on Rael’s prophecies, would be more than happy to collaborate with the Avatar scientists.”
