including an early stage (Avatar A) where lifelike avatars (androids) are created, but without an actual brain in them>Great, just what we need, more Democrats.

“Avatar A” already exists, they are called liberals, they are controlled by the press.

What would a lifelike copy of a person look like - with no brain and no soul?

This concept has been a recurrent science fiction theme for quite awhile (e.g. see Caprica, the prequel to Battlestar Galactica). I have no doubt that cloning will advance to the point at which we will be able to duplicate human beings, but there are so many other issues here, the enormous moral and spiritual issues aside.
We don't have much of an idea how information is stored in the brain, and the complexity of this will make it extremely difficult to come up with a method of ‘downloading’ who you are.
Beyond that, a duplicate you is not you. It is a copy of your organic structure, but would also be a new human being, independent of you, and would start life just like any other baby. Supposing we ever figured out how information is stored in the brain and could ‘download’ all of the information that constitutes your memories and experiences. At what point would that information be ‘uploaded’ into your copy? What about the memories and experiences your copy had until that point? Do you ‘wipe’ those? Do they have a say?
At this point in my life I'm convinced that the only immortality worth striving for in the secular world is the immortality of having passed on love and good deeds to your family and to others while you were walking around as a mortal. Spiritual immortality is a separate issue, but that's not what we're talking about here.

Seems like I've read something like this elsewhere: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnim_Zola Arnim Zola was a biochemist during World War II who became one of the first human genetic engineers in history after finding papers and equipment used by the offshoot race of humanity, the Deviants. He found a ready home among the Nazi party, who saw his actions as the ability to ensure the existence of a master race. One of his first accomplishments was the creation of a brain pattern imprinting device, which would allow someone's mental essence to be projected into a cloned brain. Zola presented such a gift to Adolf Hitler, creating the Hate-Monger.[1]

It’s fascinating that the liberals who deny the existence of God and souls are constructing a technological immortality and “heaven” that will exist before they die.
