We DON'T know that. Current suspension methods could prove to be more than adequate to do the job. It is easy to express our opinions as fact. (end) It is an opinion but one that many of the best and brightest among us would agree with. Perhaps, future science will be able to restore totally the memories of those presently suspended. But I don't want to gamble with cryonics any more then I have to! lol I agree with the point you constantly make that something(being signed up) is infinitely better then nothing(not being signed up). But many of us here are very uncomfortable with present methods and want the best odds we can get. If not for Saul Kent and Wil Faloon we would be really up the creek without a paddle. 21st Century Medicine has made some excellent progress and I look forward to further advances. We all need to do our part to help with the next fundraiser Saul Kent will be putting forward to do research into improved brain suspension. I am grateful to have you as a voice of optimism and hope on Cryonet. I get somewhat depressed about our collective prospects and you do cheer me up. I along with others, just want to move on to a higher degree of confidence in what we are trying to do. your friend, John Grigg ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=13357
