AMERICAN BILLIONAIRE PAYS COMPANY $10K (N3.6MILLION) TO KILL HIM AND UPLOAD HIS BRAIN TO A COMPUTER

A 32-year-old tech-billionaire is paying $10,000 to
be killed so his brain can be preserved forever.
Entrepreneur Sam Altman is one of 25 people on a
waiting list at Nectome, a startup company that
says they can upload the contents of a person’s
brain and store it on a computer.

But in exchange for eternally preserving his mind,
the 32-year-old will have to die in a process
similar to physician-assisted suicide – which is
only legal in five US states.
The process he’s signed up for involves
embalming the brain so it can later be simulated
onto a computer, according to the MIT Technology
Review.
The customer, alive, is hooked up to a machine
and then injected with Nectome’s embalming
chemicals. The company said the method is ‘100%
fatal.’ ‘The user experience will be identical to
physician assisted suicide,’ Nectome’s co-founder
Robert McIntyre told the Review.
