- AkThhhpppt 14y agoI don't know; "Potentially marginalized technologies: Consensus reality" is pretty special....
- K2h 14y agoyou should see the movie eXistenZ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120907/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120907/
- toemetoch 14y agoDisturbing, yes. But keep in mind that there are warehouses out there with people's heads cryogenically frozen. So there's a line of people queuing up, waiting for it to happen. :)
- pyre 14y agoThat may be true, but I was under the impression that cryogenic thawing wasn't necessarily a foolproof operation. That would seem to be to be the first step.
- toemetoch 14y agoI was under the impression that cryogenic thawing has never been done on that level (human head).
- pyre 14y agoI've only ever heard of it being attempted on animals.
- K2h 14y agoevery time i hear cryogenics, i think of walt disney. i was surprised to find it is just urban legend. "A long-standing urban legend maintains that Disney was cryogenically frozen, and his frozen corpse stored beneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.[102] In fact, Disney was cremated on December 17, 1966, and his ashes interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. The first known human cryogenic freezing did not occur until January 1967, more than a month after Disney's death.[102]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney
