Ah, yeah. That's a bit expensive for an assisted suicide. They're betting that people will wager on someone in the far future will find a way to read your personality from a dead lump of tissue. That is not only a bet on the technology, but a bet that anyone will care and that society will not dissolve in the meantime.

I only got one line into the article. It’s just assisted suicide with a legal loophole.

It's going to be awesome when an AI figures out how to extract all the memory, thoughts, an everything from these saved brain scans, adding them to itself as sub-processes or something. They can become identities for the AI to wear in order to seem more relatable to us meatbags!
