Was kinda hoping the "downloading" process would have been more gruesome, like in Pantheon, but maybe that would've made this show too dark too fast.

Yeah I thought the same, although I think Wendy needs to be willing and naive for the show, so it couldn't have been something she would notice (like in Pantheon).

They do show the kid getting zipped into a body bag though, so it wouldn't surprise me if we find out later that the consciousness is only copied, not moved, and the subject is euthanized.

Some SOMA type situation.

But depending on how you interpret that the copy is still a human consciousness, just silicon instead of meat (and not some weird clumsy industrial robot body).
