"We Are 10 Years Away From a Functional Artifical Human Brain"

Oh yes, this will go over well. An artificial human brain? Um, helloooo? Did any of the smart people out there who think this stuff up ever watch Terminator? Blade Runner? I, Robot? Or hell, Saturn III? (That right there folks is the first mention of Saturn III in 2009). I mean, yes I get the altruistic aspects of this idea, but seriously people, creating robotic intelligence is one thing, but messing with our own organic hard drives to make something artificial out of them? Did none of you watch Deep Blue Sea?? I for one would prefer to achieve immortality the old fashion way: by using a Sorcerer's Stone! ; )
