Abstract

Wealthy individuals have many adventures to choose from in today’s world, including visiting the moon and spending time in the deepest canyons of the ocean. But the most coveted waiting list is sponsored by a Canadian startup corporation, Tundra, Inc., which has just obtained the Canadian government’s approval to offer its clients a chance to participate in its immortality project.

Tundra is using the research phase of its immortality project not only to recruit clients, but also to educate them on the risks (and benefits!) of trying out their new product line. The technology involved is a trade secret, but the immortality process used by the corporation can be simply summarized. The client’s entire body will be frozen in vitro while still alive (reincarnation is not an option). The brain will be removed from the body and transferred to a single occupant space-capable capsule where its contents will be uploaded into a quantum computer at 100-year intervals indefinitely or until the participant withdraws consent for continuing the exploration. A copy of the brain will be regularly updated by AI and stored at a body depository on the planet of the participant’s choice (currently limited to Earth).
