Reply to comment by advertisementeconomy in An ICU coma patient costs $600 a day, how much will it cost to live in the digital world and keep the body alive here? by just-a-dreamer-

What's a good price target? 50$ a day? That's 18k a year give or take.

If we are doing brains in mass that is very different to a handful of ICU patients.

The brain would need to be fed a stream of nutrients and hormones along with oxygenated air.

Everything could be recycled locally.

So we are talking more like an automated fish tank + chemical needed to keep it running than a hospital .

So long term a few bucks per day.
