Kenneth Hayworth is trying to make us all immortal:

“Our grandchildren will say that we died not because of heart disease, cancer, or stroke, but instead that we died pathetically out of ignorance and superstition” — by which he means the belief that there is something fundamentally unknowable about consciousness, and that therefore it can never be replicated on a computer.
