X-Message-Number: 5611 Date: Wed, 17 Jan 96 09:35:10 From: dave <> Subject: reply Reply 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."
