But what if -- instead of preserving our *bodies* -- we could preserve our *consciousness*; by uploading it to a powerful computer.

This is called *mind uploading*. And one startup has developed a procedure to do exactly this. It's scientifically sound, there's a waiting list to participate, and the procedure -- is one hundred percent fatal.

Let's find out why.
