X-Message-Number: 10158 Date: Sat, 1 Aug 1998 10:23:11 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: continuation of answers to latest Hi again! I'm posting this message because I forgot to answer Skye. And my answer is simple: Yes, we may someday find a way to store ourselves in a computer or preserve ourselves in some other way. However we have no way to do that right now, and that is why we try to get ourselves frozen with the least possible damage. And as I said in my last message on this subject, I was discussing the case in which our brain might be destroyed. Unless it has somehow been preserved beforehand, there is nothing to preserve after its destruction. And diseases or conditions which destroy our brain do cause a situation in which most cryonicists would say that we have died. If our brain has NOT been destroyed, however, we differ from normal medicine in believing that we might still be alive. Best and long long life to all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=10158
