<< I recently discovered that several cryonicists have frozen or plan to
freeze
 their pets. It reminded me of an old sci-fi tale (Heinlein, perhaps) about
 a future in which pets had evolved in sync with humans and were able to
 communicate, reason abstractly, use metacognition, etc...in short, they
 evolved into what we are today while their masters had advanced that much
 further. Has this been discussed on this newsgroup? Do extropians promote
 or accept the idea of accelerating the development of non-human species and
 if so...under what circumstances?

Havent there been experiments where they froze a dog for a few weeks then
thawed it and it came back to life?
