Charlie Dugan is a teenager with progeria who wishes to upload to save his life.
Biography[]
Due to his disorder, Charlie feared the fact that he would die as a teenager, but upon hearing of Uploaded Intelligence, he saw it as a hope to save his life. Eventually, Stephen Holstrom found out about him and had Renee speak with him. During the meeting, he expressed interest in the procedure but questioned its legality. Renee reassured him that everything would be alright and the two eventually uploaded together. Charlie live-streamed his time as an upload as his mother watched. However, Safesurf found the two and, while Renee was able to escape from a moment, both were killed.
Charlie’s death resulted in the general public starting to see uploads as people, and the protests that followed led to compromises for uploading minds before the practice became more commonly affordable.
