None whatsoever.
edit: The stumbling block for cryonics the massive trauma to cells at a molecular level from freezing. If I have to bet, that never gets solved and cryonics is a pipe dream. So, I didn't mean to be so blithe, but this offers no new information that's relevant to the viability of cryonics.
edit: I'm aware of vitrification. Vitrify and revive a human, then. It's a safe bet that it's not a perfect process at the scale of a whole human body.
- ivank 13y agoSince 2001, cryopreservation is performed with vitrification, not ordinary freezing. See http://www.alcor.org/cryomyths.html#myth2 http://www.alcor.org/cryomyths.html#myth2
- Houshalter 13y agoWell you don't have to revive the whole body, or even the brain. Just preserve the information in it.
- nova 13y agoExactly. What makes up the identity of a person is not the physical substrate but the pattern of information stored. But this is a tough bullet to bite, even for computer professionals.
