How not to agree?
I would add this: Outside sci-fi, most "new technologies" have in fact been 
built step by step from old ones. If we want a technology able to recover 
people in cryonics state someday, we must start with current technology and 

practices. This is why we must start today to define what would be a neural net 
for 
uploading. we may disagree on the subject of is the current technology able to 
build such a net with brain power, but we would agree that this is the first 
step to do if we want someday to get out of cryonics state.
