In all the discussion about cryonics this week at the office, I found
nearly everyone I spoke to (90% engineers) would dismiss the
notion of a frozen brain ever being revived. But when I introduced
the idea of nanobots mapping the configuration of the still-frozen
brain and creating an analog in the computer, most granted the
possibility. The idea of a future holodeck existence even appealed
to several of them. Perhaps when dealing with skeptics, we should
point out that we can create software emulators of any computer,
and our brains are computers. spike
