“Probably good enough” doesn’t engender a lot of confidence. It would seem a tragedy to go through all of this and then not be reanimated because you carelessly chose the wrong org.
On the other hand spending too much time trying to pick the right org does seem like raw material for cryocrastination.
Does anyone have thoughts / links on whole body vitrification? ALCOR claims that this is less effective than going neuro, but CI doesn’t seem to offer neuro option anymore.
Disclaimer: I have no relevant expertise. That said, FWIW I suspect that whole-body people will be brought back first:
if through bodily reanimation, because repair of the whole body will be easier than replacement of the body given only the severed head
if through scanning/WBE, because it will be possible to scan their spinal columns as well as their brains and it will be easier to build them virtual bodies using their real bodies as a basis.
Though CI don’t offer a neuro option, their focus (obviously) is preserving the information in the brain.
