X-Message-Number: 13553 Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2000 11:14:10 -0700 From: Mike Perry <> Subject: Confusion over Uploading In the last CryoNet Yvan Bozzonetti ("Azt28") responds to some of us on the "uploading" issue. Studying his responses carefully, it looks as if he is simply trying to make the point that, in his view, reanimation through some form of uploading is a more likely possibility or easier route than a tissue-based reanimation. This point of view has merit and actually I tend to agree. But the way that much of his stuff is written seems, at first glance, instead to be saying that being uploaded is somehow a better option for someone dying *today* than being frozen. This of course is absurd and brings home the fact that while we can at least freeze a brain today, albeit imperfectly, we can't yet do uploading in any meaningful sense.
