This morning there were several interesting postings on DNA storage vs 
whole body, cloning, and up/down loading.

I don't think any of them will insure survival of the individual.  As a 
cryonicists I am interested in my *self* surviving.

A long time ago we had this debate and lots of participants tried to come 
up with their definition of a "self."

Mine was "A person is an unbroken, evolving *pattern* of matter (matter and 
energy are same)."  

If this definition still stands, then cryonics is the only way for a person 
of today to "survive."
