Do you think that cryonics is impossible without success in nanotechnology? Can we achieve cryostasis without it?
My thinking is that the 2 sciences are directly linked by this imperative. Without nonotechnology to repair the damage caused by our primative cryogenic suspension technology currently available that this cryogenics would be of little if any value for future re-animation.
Another thought that comes to mind is the mind. Can the human mind be reanimated with only chemical memory available for the nanotechnology to work with. Would we simply be a dumb lump of flesh without our brains and minds intact when reanimated?
Would we also need to have a memory engram imprint available on some computer database in order to have information available to the reconstructive nanotechnology so they can make us whole again.
With so many technologies required for a successful re-animation is it worth the cost to even try to preserve our corpse in a frozen state?
