How to have this physical form gone; transhumanism / posthumanism

Lots of tools have possible use to transplant human neural tissue into robotic tools or computers

To have this physical form gone once and for all, the problem amounts to: how to do so with limited resources?
If you have a million dollars, here is how to transplant your CNS (central nervous system, composed of neural tissue) into robots:

Lookup maps of human CNS, produce robotic tools to replace all of your PNS (peripheral nervous system, composed of biological muscles and sensors) with mechanical servos/motors/actuators and sensors,
program a medical robot to have your heart stop, remove your CNS from you, and transplant your CNS to the robot’s systems.

You can rent medical robots, (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3016020/
https://finmodelslab.com/blogs/operating-costs/medical-robotics-operating-costs )
but most of those just have 1 or 2 arms and can not do much more than drill a hole through your cranium and rip your cortex (and spinal cord) out of you.

To remove (intact) all of your neural tissue, and transplant this into robotic systems,
requires autonomous surgical tools which have thousands of small arms,
similar to commercial autonomous tools (

) but with much smaller tools, to sever all of your nerves/axons (plus attach your nerves/axons to a robot’s sensors/motors or CPU).

Lots of humans who have regrown severed nerves:

, so with a whole lab of autonomous surgical tools, you can reattach your nerves/axons to digital circuits.
The target host would have to have Brainex pumps

pumps or glucose — neurons run off of glycolysis — pumps

to fuel your neural tissue.

If you have a million dollars, send a private message and I will do this for both of us.
Lots of scientists have attached bacterial systems to computers:

or attached mammal’s neural tissue to computers:

, so the world does have lots of tools which you can repurpose to transplant human neural tissue into robotic systems (or into computers).

Integration Theory of Consciousness says that our qualia/souls/subjective-experiences amount to how complex our connectome (the architecture and coefficients of our neural tissue) is,
so if a dead human’s CNS is preserved through stasis, you can undo death if you upload the human’s consciousness.
Scientists guessed that before 2024, practitioners would have uploaded a human’s consciousness.
