Currently, I think most people just get their brains preserved. So they’d have to give you a whole new body or just have you as software anyway.
Early adopter for being preserved doesn’t mean early adopter for being revived. In fact, it probably means the opposite. Since the easiest people to revive will probably be the people preserved with the most advanced technology.
Oh! Good point. Hm. But that might mean that I’m among a group that was using such old technology that it’s more or less arcane by that point… which could mean that there aren’t very many people in my set to revive, and so less leeway to iron out the flaws before they get to me…
Is anyone freezing any lab mice or anything?
I can see myself at the cryo counter: “Hi, I want me and these 100 lab mice frozen.”
Remember: you can always take random recently dead guys who donated their bodies to science, vitrify their brains, and experiment on them. And this’ll be after years of animal studies and such.

You can freeze your pets.
Haha, I hadn’t thought about that.
