There have already been not yet born transplanted to cryonic storage and them re-implanted even years later, carried to term and born. It does work and proves the cryonics point with undeniable living human results now rather than years from now. If that choice were mandated as a choice, more overall dollars and research would go toward cryonics. A few not yets might effectively time travel a bit and be born, some might not, but storage technologies and those types of resuscitations would make gains in either case. We might have to work on the front end life extending to make progress. Who among us wants to have the early experimental resuscitations done on us and risk falling into the statistical column under botched resuscitation? At least the little ones gain some kind of a chance they wouldn't have otherwise had, and such a chance possibility is probably better on the emotions and psyche of many instead of no chance at all. It's very hard for people to say cryonics doesn't make sense when living children who were frozen for years are born and running around healthy with 70+ more years ahead of them. --part1_1e8.c7ca5dd.2c39108e_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=22135
