Let me make one little point clear.The name that you see on the e-mail(from) i.e. diana singh is my daughter(the account is in her name). My name is Gurvinder (Gullu for short). I woudn't mind if you rather addresed to her (I'm her father so naturally you can) but she will not be able to discuss cryonics for atleast another 10 years! (she's only 9). Those of you who are not too worried about comets/asteriods (except Thomas) I would like to add that cryonics is such a field that it requires the best from the people involved. Best in the sense that you really have to go into each and every detail before you can even think of reviving someone. A small mistake could be very costly. So if we have to be so careful why not go that extra mile and ensure that we are not hit by asteriods/comets. I mean how many times in the history of human beings has the potential for revival been discussed. We are luckly enough to be alive in this century. So lets give it our best. I think revival can become real because of the following possibilities; a. The invention of the quantum computer. It will make the task of analysing a patient very easy(Faaast/Speeed). Hooked up to guide a nano machine it will automatically repair the damaged portions of the brain/body tissue.(these nano machs will have to be in large quantities like white blood cells). b. The possibility of just reviving one brain cell and then it repairs the others around it and so on leading to complete overhaul. c. Replace the damaged portion with embronic tissue made from the same DNA which then takes over the repair/development using natural forces that are still unknown. d. No two brains are the same but the connectedness they have is probably similar. By using an alive person's brain the patient's brain will be repaired.(Something like sensing the direction of the stock market by watching a few stocks for some time(I'm in the market and I always use this technique to prepare myself for the day)). e. As far as neuronal loose ends are concerned (Thomas) I feel the brain connects in the most efficient way (takes a shorter route probably, to save energy). So connecting the ends and ending up with the most efficient (shortest connections) network of neurons might solve this one(view!). I hope some of you don't laugh at the above. I still have a long way to go before I can really participate. Bye!! Gurvinder. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
