I thought this would have been picked up by someone, but my
scans of the list over the last several days seems to suggest
that isn't the case.
>From Slashdot:
Techies on Ice: The Coming Age of Cryonics
http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/08/08/206233&mode=thread&tid=126
Points to a SiliconValley.com article from the Contra Costa Times:
Techies go for ice-cold afterlife by Jessica Guynn and Ellen Lee
http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/3803782.htm
The Extropy Institute is mentioned in the article.
I sent a note to Jessica with a minor correction about nanobot sizing
and she sent me a quite pleasant response.
Step by step, the extropic vector expands...
Soooo -- when is there going to be a European cryonic suspension site?
Surely you folks can't believe flying bodies on ice across the
Atlantic is going to increase survival probabilities.
And why (with perhaps limited exceptions) isn't there any Asian
presence on the list? I would think all of these ideas like
cryonics and the cyborgization of humanity would find a much
warmer reception in cultures unencumbered by Christian history.
[Feel free to change the subject lines when commenting on the last
two paragraphs.]
