X-Message-Number: 32309 Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 10:24:20 -0500 From: Subject: Cryonics/Rejuvenation presentation at ConFusion 2010 I have been invited to speak at the ConFusion 2010 science fiction convention being held in Troy, Michigan on the fourth weekend of January. Those wishing to attend my presentation will need to register for the convention. http://confusion.stilyagi.org/content/what-confusion-all-about I was asked to concentrate on the scientific aspects of cryonics. I will devote the first half of my presentation to rejuvenation science because I believe this is an essential part of the cryonics program that is too often missed, and which provides so much incentive (a marketing benefit for outreach). My one-hour presentation is scheduled for Saturday, January 23rd at 5pm http://bit.ly/7jUBxI Below is the title and outline that I submitted to the scientific programming coordinator of ConFusion 2010. -- Ben Best *************************************************** Scientific Basis of Rejuvenation and Cryonics A PowerPoint Presentation by Ben Best, President, Cryonics Institute Cryonics is based on the expectation that future medicine will be able to repair cryopreservation damage, cure all diseases and rejuvenate people to enduring youth. The SENS approach to rejuvenation will be explained in detail along with the scientific meaning of death and the science of cryopreservation.
