Now, the actual probability rests on the work invested in doing it happen. So the probability is zero if we do noting ( nobody else will do it) and it is near 100% if we work on it. So, the probability is defined by what we do or do not. If cryonics is a religion and we wait for some outside salvation, it will bring nowhere, if it is seen as a technology,... Yvan Bozzonetti.
