Provocative. Imagine this. You wreck your car into mine while DUI. I suffer life-threatening injuries but medical advances with cyborg technologies enable me to survive. My world-class legal team decides to convince the DA to delay prosecution given the statute of limitations but they go ahead with the civil case to secure my comfortable retirement. During my retirement, I use some of the legal proceeds to build a company that makes the cyborg technologies more accessible to the market (Keep Augmentation Free) and become a tycoon and life-extension guru. 50 years later, at the end of my warranty and unable to cope with terminal bionic pop ups, my bio-engineer mid-level service provider supervises my managed deactivation and cold storage. Then, my legal team contacts the successor to the successor of the DA and presses for a murder charge. We look you up and discover that you had become one of my cyborgic beneficiaries several years ago after suffering a tragedy of your own. The State wins a death sentence case against you for my murder and begins your involuntary deactivation by lethal unplugging without chance of uploading into the cloud. Your appeal is considered briefly and denied by teleconference with the SCOTUS, the majority opinion written by the clone of Rick Perry outfitted with a Series 3000 Jurisprudence implant. A year later, my stored data is uploaded into a primed neural network and in a fit of AI inspired calculations, it begins an infinite loop of musings on public transportation, Asian food, travel, and cyborgs.
