I put quotes on so I don't get hit with more semantics.And what natural law breaking act?

Um, so when was the last time you died. Me i'm still on the fence with this one.Xeven said:Yeah, let's do that. Let's let all the LIVING PEOPLE die from diseases and vitrify themFar as I'm concerned, vitrification or crynological preservation are MOSTLY for cowards who can't accept their inevitable deaths. Course, it's their money, it's their life and their choice.
I died 5 years ago :thumb:Coolsvilleman said:Um, so when was the last time you died. Me i'm still on the fence with this one.
Most applications people associate with nanotechnology are just SF by now. Currently nanotechnology is just a catchier name for chemistry and has little to do with tiny machines.Gaurav said:I've never looked into it, but I'm curious what the aspired nano-technology would do for aging though. Things always tend to break down through use, and one day, the brain diminishes to an unuseful state as well. If there would be ways to preserve other parts of the body virtually indefinitely.. or perhaps the brain is too delicate to interfere with in such a way, even for nano-machinery.
LOL, ic ic. I wonder if you dream when your vitrified?Xeven said:I died 5 years ago :thumb:
That last sentence made me lol. Think of what will happen to the poor bastards if no one ever comes up with a way to "unvitrify" them.Master Chief said:People do this, hoping that one day, Scientists will have learned how to thaw you out of your vitrified state, and cure your sickness. Imagine that...
Yeah, that's a possibilty. But I don't think the people care. They just think they are going to wake up some day. This technology is to early and hasn't really been tested and proven to work. Those people could be dead. This company just seems to be into the business for the cash.ka0s said:That last sentence made me lol.

There are a lot of things considered just SF, of which many are closer and more achievable than most people think. I have no clue if the same goes for these particular uses of nano-technology (due to ignorance) this Alcor organization preaches on about.Sumukan said:Most applications people associate with nanotechnology are just SF by now.

Now that's what interests me. If you ever find out where you got that from, I'd appreciate it if you let me know. I'll look for it as well when I have a bit more time.Sumukan said:I remember reading once the human bones and teeth are built for a lifetime of about 40 or 50 years while the brain could survive for 500 years if the other organs keep working, is just forgot where i read it...
