Perhaps Alcor should do the perfusions and freezing and CI chug away at the storage which needs safety and stability. About Mike’s or anyone’s judgment for that matter, it is a commonplace that no one person has good judgment in all areas. Alcor’s judgment in selection of personnel may be comparatively poor, but on the other hand I note few comments of a scientific or technical nature on his technical arguments, and as my own knowledge is rusty, I crave input from someone other than Mike of an exact nature, and not the dismissive “often fool people into believing that his judgment is better than it is” type of comment. I’m not fooled by any of this, but sorely lacking in the means to exercise my own intellect on the critical area of perfusion technology and I am becoming concerned that Mike’s technical postings are ignored in substance and detail because of a general lack of technical and scientific know-how in both organizations. At some point in the future if research on reanimation continues to be at or near zero BOTH organizations will be storing people whose information loss is approaching an upper asymptote of 100% regardless of the technology used to get them into the capsules in the first place.
