Not silicon (molecular circuits, either from buckytubes or organic
molecules), and not in 20 years (40? 50?), but you're essentially
correct.
But why heart attack? Proper diet (there is a continuum from
supercaloric to CR), some limited excercise, healthy lifestyle and
proper supplements can make you last for ~90-100 years.
Also, you might think that people like http://minduploading.org/
are wacko, but imo the thing is in principle doable, and will be
attempted. (If Skynet doesn't get up first).
