Can it? Myers says otherwise.
His overall point is "research into this is useful; freezing people's brains is not, because the freezing process destroys necessary parts of what makes you 'you'". Is there a refutation of his point?
- Houshalter 11y agoHe's correct that a lot of stuff is destroyed in the process. But the synapses are preserved, and many people believe that is all that is necessary. If you get your brain preserved with this method, there is some chance it can be revived in the future. The synapses contain a huge amount of information about you. It's quite probable the rest of the information can be inferred from that.
