> A Silicon Valley billionaire is paying $10,000 to be killed so that his brain can be preserved in the hope that it will one day be uploaded to a computer so he can live on digitally forever. [LINK](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/silicon-valley-billionaire-32-pays-12191192)

Sam Altman, 32, a tech entrepreneur, has paid 10 grand to join a waiting list at Nectome...

## Nectome

The following is [Nectome's mission statement](https://nectome.com/):

**Our mission is to preserve your brain well enough to keep all its memories intact: from that great chapter of your favorite book to the feeling of cold winter air, baking an apple pie, or having dinner with your friends and family. If memories can truly be preserved by a sufficiently good brain banking technique, we believe that within the century it could become feasible to digitize your preserved brain and use that information to recreate your mind. How close are we to this possibility? Currently, we can preserve the connectomes of animal brains and are working on extending our techniques to human brains in a research context. This is an important first step towards the development of a verified memory preservation protocol, as the connectome plays a vital role in memory storage.**

The method, the company can confidently assure, is "100% fatal".

<br>

## What Does Sam Altman Have To Say?

He believes minds will become digitized in his lifetime. “I assume my brain will be uploaded to the cloud,” he said.

He is not standing alone either, twenty four other individuals have paid up and are also in the same waiting list.

<br>

## The Method

Nectome proposes to embalm your brain while you are still alive so there is the best chance that it will be uploaded to a computer when technology permits, essentially making you immortal.

Netcome's chemical solution can preserve a body for hundreds or potentially thousands of years so one day scientists may scan your stored brain so it can be reborn as a computer simulation.

<br>

## Embalmed Alive?

The process requires "fresh brains" so the embalming chemicals need to be pumped into your blood stream while you are still alive - effectively killing you on the spot.

“The user experience will be identical to physician-assisted suicide,” Nectome’s co-founder Robert McIntyre, a computer scientist, said.

***Nectome’s storage service is not for sale yet and there is still no evidence that memories remain, or can be extricated from dead tissue.***

But the waiting list is already here and more clients are ready to join if the procedure becomes legal.

## Stop Playing God Scientists!

I am personally completely against Nectome! Humans should go through the cycle of life, then accept whatever is to come next.

The fact of the matter is that there is no guarantee this technology will ever "effectively upload your brain to a computer". We know one thing, you will pay to be killed and have your brain put in cold storage...

Would you join the waiting list at Nectome? Tell us in the comments!
