X-Message-Number: 13515 From: Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 17:15:18 EDT Subject: Back to uploading: the angel concept. uploading (or for short, brain on computer) is not well received by many in the small world of cryonics. Neverthless, I think it is the best option in continental Europe where laws impose long delays before freezing and for many now frozen. A uploaded brain could live in an artificial world, a virtual reality. Neverthless, there is another option: It could have a two way link with a living brain, may be a clone of the original body. That person would have two brains: one in the biological body and another on a computer or another electronics device. Even the young biological brain would have the full experience and memory of the uploaded one, this last would be its "electronics angel". One possibility is to use as biological componment a small animal, it would be interesting in space travel to have this option. This would give the power and flexibility of a manned exploration at only some percents of the mass and price. Yvan Bozzonetti. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=13515
