The Nectome venture has the potential to live forever by transferring your brain to a computer. But there is an important detail; they have to kill you first.

If you dream of living forever as a conscious computer simulation, the venture company Nectome has a proposal for you.

Will an entrant make you euthanasia and pay for the possibility that someday someday a digital copy of your brain will turn into a life? Yes, technology giants like Sam Altman do it.

According to MIT Technology Review, Sam Altman, president of Y Combinator, is one of 25 people who deposited a $ 10,000 returnable deposit to join Nectome's waiting list, the sole purpose of 'archiving your brain'. But there is only one, an extremely important detail; They need to kill you first. Nectome promises to mummify your brain with a special formula and turn the neural connections in your brain into a code that will allow you to live forever in the future.

Nectome Founding Partner Robert McIntyre, who met with MIT Technology Review, said the process was "100 percent lethal." In order for the company to create a simulation on the computer, it is necessary to mummify a living brain. The living customer will be connected to a computer and then filled with Nectome's special mummification chemistries. Of course this process will result in death.

80 thousand dollars awarded

McIntyre "The user experience will be the same as doctor-assisted suicide. The product-market harmony is making people believe that this process will work, "he says. It is important to believe that 'a little death' in the sense that it will 'work' for something to live forever.

Nectome's service is not yet ready for the market. The initiative, which recently won a prize of $ 80,000 to protect a pig's brain as mentioned above, is still in research. It will be possible to make a frozen brain fully functional again or convert it into a functioning code, which will show significant improvements in technology.
