How does /Sci/ feel about cryonics?

>>	Anonymous Sun May 30 02:51:34 2010 No.1057805 >>1057774 Why does the mind need to uploaded and not restarted? What would be the point of full body cryonics?

>>	Skunkworks !e1337Hykks Sun May 30 02:53:34 2010 No.1057818 >>1057805 The brain pretty much gets denatured from the pre-freeze prep. Your gonna need some mean nanobots to restart a brain that has been through cryo-prep.
