Microvasculature perfusion failure in cryonics
Under ideal circumstances cryonics patients are stabilized immediately after pronouncement of legal death by restoring blood flow to the brain, lowering temperature, and administering medications. In most cryonics cases, however, there is a delay between pronouncement of legal death and … Continue reading

Alcor’s problematic “notable quotes” page
I realized recently that this year marks the 40th anniversary of the first manned landing on the moon. The irony strikes me, for the Apollo missions did not lead to any follow-up in manned space travel. Nobody anticipated that we’d … Continue reading
Cryonics and transhumanism
The association of cryonics with “transhumanism” seems inevitable but is problematic. It seems inevitable because cryonics should be most attractive to people with a very positive perspective on the future capabilities of technology. Barring rapid advances in mitigating aging, cryonics … Continue reading
