Sidetrack: If you’re cryonicly revived, what are the odds of getting your gut bacteria back?
A lot of cryonics is head-only cryonics, so pretty low.
Good point, but what about whole-body cryonics?
I think very high if they’re trying to preserve them, otherwise very low. We know bacteria can survive freezing fairly well in many cases, but if they’re not trying to preserve them I imagine the revival process could be deadly to gut flora.
