cryonics is a fragile storage strategy: a constant fresh supply of liquid nitrogen and electricity is required for centuries.

how can a profit making entity be expected to align with the interests of a bunch of corpses that appear as a liability on their balance sheet?

you can try to develop incentives but economics change over time, even environmental conditions do; to say nothing of technology.

if a non profit got this all right somehow how could they reliably remain competent over a period like this? very few entities of any kind survive this long.

what's needed is a compact between generations, like that which exists in families. in a decentralized body preservation scheme each family can store it's own and we have our custodial solution.

but technology cycles never remain in decentralized, fragmented phases for long. centralization is inevitable in any system just as another wave of de-consolidation follows that.

something meta to families is required. what we call religious organizations have always fitted this bill: a common belief shared horizontally across living people as well as vertically amongst the dead and unborn.

don't forget 97% of the human genome is shared with mice

Is it a health issue or just ego? It doesn't matter as long as their is hope.

Epigenetic reprogramming is proving to be the most fundamental aging switch around.

Once a fringe field, aging research is now entering a new phase with the first clinical trials of aging-related drugs.

EPR involves rapidly cooling a person to around 10 to 15°C by replacing all of their blood with ice-cold saline. The patient’s brain activity almost completely stops. They are then disconnected from the cooling system and their body – which would otherwise be classified as dead – is moved to the operating theatre.

Hungry is clean, fat is errors, we see this theme more and more, now in the vascular system.

"I want to be a GMO"

Don't get too thrilled yet guys this is the kind of thing that can lead to cancer but dayam!

What does anyone know about plastination? Seems I might be kicking it soon and the ice looks like a shitty bet weather wise.

Maybe we ought to but I's rather die trying not to.

Infusing elderly mice with the blood of young mice can reverse many of the mental and physical impairments of growing old.
