I usually lurk rather than submit but I wonder if someone could straighten me out on something. Seems many of us are hoping that nanotech will be the technology that repairs both the original condition that "kills" us as well as the more serious damage of the preservation process itself. As I understand it the conventional scenario is that billions of freshly replicated nanobots coordinated by nanocomputers will then commence the task of repairing the damage to the corpus at the cellular (and perhaps more significantly at the level of memory). To reanimate a particular personality won't it be necessary to not just repair the neuronal and memory damage but to do it in all (or at least a great many areas of the brain and memory) SIMULTANEOUSLY? At some point reanimation of the SAME person muct be achieved for success. And doesn't the repair/recreation of this person finally occur at a particular instant when their memories are restored? How is it envisaged that the multitude of freeze induced fatal flaws be resolved and the SAME whole person (synchronised neurons and memories) restored simultaneously? What technology coordinates this? How do we avoid reanimating amnesiacs or "alternate" personalities? Apologies if I am coming in a little low here. I realise I've repeated the same question. Regards, Enjoy reading the list. Brett Paatsch Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=13168
