as computer processing technology advances, things like this become increasingly possible. Look at how far we have come in the past 50 years. Imagine where we’ll be in another 50 years. Eventually, humans will be immortal one way or the other. I have no doubt about this at all.

Ray Kurzweil discussed this in his book, “The Singularity Is Near”.
I think Ray is an optimist. Technological progress would move much faster, but it is retarded by the legal and social parasites, Luddites, and commies.
I figure about 50-100 years.
BTW, I am becoming more and more cyberonic myself. Already have some metal and plastic parts.

Even if a computer has all a persons memories and experiences stored inside it's CPU it still will not be human. It will always lack the real emotions and, dare I say, soul that makes one human. I all reality it would be the the definition of inhuman.
