Do you have any papers or other resources on why freezing one’s cells would be a good idea for transhumanists? I think that we’d be interested in hearing you elaborate on why you think any given method of freezing cells would be worthwhile, which isn’t something that you’ve discussed in the above post.
To be fair, your readers can Google things, too—but in general, it is really nice when people who make posts give readers a bit of background knowledge on the topic the post is about, especially when the topic (freezing cells) is something that isn’t commonly discussed on LW.
Seconded. Specifically, citations for the implied claims (1) that it is not exorbitantly expensive to perform the organ regeneration or pay for an insurance policy that will pay for that, and (2) how often death is caused by something that can be fixed with organ transplants. Also relevant would be the probability that you would get a successful organ transplant without the cell preservation.
