Hi Aurelia! I think the recent news about the “uploaded” fruit fly (mentioned in a previous comment) add to the available evidence (without proving, at least not yet) that your brain preservation method works. But $250K seems too much to me. Many people who would otherwise be interested couldn’t even consider it. For example I couldn’t, not without winning the lottery. I hope, however, that advances in technology and reductions of operational costs will make this a viable option for younger people. Is the email address I have to you still valid, or do you have a new one?
Exactly! This was the case for Teslas, mobile phones etc. so I guess it will be the case here. Too bad radical price reductions won’t arrive in time for most older people. Bot I’m happy for younger people!
The email address should still be valid! And anything directed to hello@nectome and intended for Aurelia will make it to her eyes as well.
Our goal is of course to reach as many people as possible; we’re all in this because we want humans, generally, to be preserved. If this is something covered by medicare in ten years, I’d consider that a huge victory. Now, that’s a very ambitious goal, but I don’t think it’s theoretically infeasible! End-of-life care is already very expensive for insurers.

$250K is also too much for me at present, although I hope Aurelia / Nectome have something like (the first 3 steps of) Tesla’s old secret master plan
