When you die, where should we upload your brain?

And then there’s the further-off prediction of mind copying—the idea that one day you might actually be able to upload your brain to a server and live forever in digital form. Should that ever be the case (and experts think it’s unlikely, but that won’t stop someone from trying to sell people on everything from cryonics to fresh brain–uploading startups), your server information will be critical to those around you when you die.

Our future death-related forms will likely reflect these complications. Are you OK with being treated by a robotic EMT? Can we use 3D-printed organs to replace ones you might have damaged? Should we turn off your livestreaming app while you’re being treated? If you’re going to die, do you want a human to deliver that news? Or is a robot just fine? Where should doctors upload your brain if they’re unable to save you, and what’s the password to access that storage system? The form below imagines what this bureaucratic process might look like.
