MOSCOW, May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Renowned actor and martial artist Steven Seagal has written an open letter to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, asking the Prime Minister's support of the "Russia 2045" movement that aims to make Russia the center of immortality and artificial body research. According to Seagal, "Russia 2045," by using and developing new technologies, hopes to significantly improve the quality of life and make humans immortal by the year 2045.

"Not so long ago, I learned from my Russian friends about the 'Russia 2045' social movement, and I decided to join it," says Seagal, who has Russian roots and "considers himself Russian." "... I am extremely proud this technology has been discovered in Russia and that it has been propagated in Russia, with some of the greatest Russian doctors and scientists in the world. In bringing this technology into the forefront of the world, surely we as a human race will make incredible leaps and bounds ensuring a new and better quality of life," adds Seagal.

"I am appealing to you, hoping that we may have the opportunity for a mutually beneficial enterprise making the world a better place," Steven says. "It seems as through now you are placing more emphasis on life expectancy and life extension issues. I can see that you are actively working hard on coming up with solutions that lead Russia into the future confidently."

Steven Seagal has met Vladimir Putin in Russia and considers him "a prominent world leader" and hopes for his response. The "Russia 2045" movement was founded in 2011 in Moscow by the ground of prominent scientists. They intend to combine all existing groundbreaking medical technologies and develop new ones in order to produce artificial human body and, eventually, allow humans to reach immortality.

The complete open letter to Vladimir Putin is available at http://www.scribd.com/doc/55559143/Letter-to-Putin.

Steven Seagal is an American film star and martial artist. He is also producer, film director, and writer. Additionally, he is a Buddhist and actively involved in charity. In February 1997, His Holiness Penor Rinpoche recognized Steven Seagal as Tulku Rinpoche, and as the reincarnation of Terton Chungdrag Dorje, who lived in the XVII century.

"Russia 2045" was founded by Dmitry Itskov, president of New Media Stars, in February of 2011 with the participation of leading Russian specialists in the fields of neural interfaces, artificial organs, and systems. Its major goal is creation of an artificial body, while the intermediate goal is to create various artificial organs, and life expectancy extension. Fore more information, please visit www.2045.com.

This seems to be real, at least the multiple outlets that have the story think it is legit.

Steven Seagal and Vlad Putin working together with Russian scientists on the secret of human immortality.   :hmm:  Seems reasonable.

He considers himself russian? I thought he was deputized to help defend our border? Why would a russian want to be responsible for defending our border, unless....
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

It's not like radical life extension is a particularly far-fetched idea.

I just need to stay alive for 34 more years.

Help me Vladimir Putin.  You're my only hope.

It's an idea that's totally evil though.

Most of the flaws of human character are rooted in our fragility.  Immortality and associated human reengineering would change human behavior in profound ways, and probably much for the better.

And, in the worst comes to worst, we can always make the Brutals exterminate one another with only a moderate investment and pithy sloganeering.

The destruction of enormous swathes of humanity is neccessary.  Immortality is an impediment to that.

The human brain, like all our other organs, isn't designed to last very long. And if it gets replaced, how are we still us?
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

There's limited space and resources on Earth as it is, if we become unaging then that problem will quickly get so much worse that it will lead to civilization ending conflict.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Civilization may be destroyed, but humanity won't. Surely some omniscient cartographer could show where everyone is.  :D

Being immortal is wonderful, but it is equally important to be immortal and at least somewhat functional.
