Cryonics is currently done in lov volumes and the procedures are changing fairly quickly if I have understood it right. If all works out well and cryonics do work as intended I assume that future people will start reviving the youngest and best preserved bodies. As they work backwards in the queue their skill and experience will grow and the bodies will be in worser shape for each decade. But there will steadily be fewer of each generation of cooling procedures until they reach the few who are stored today. Would it then be benificial if they have bodies treated with todays and yesterdays procedures for testing before reviving humans? Would it make sense to preserve big fairly human like and emotionally unanatched bodies from for example pigs for future revivers to test their skills on?
