I'm considering signing up with the Cryonics Institute. Are you signed up? I'd be interested to hear your reasons why or why not. It does of course sound crazy, but when you press past that initial reaction to find out why it's crazy, I haven't heard a really satisfactory argument yet, and I'm interested to hear what people think. There are many reasons it might not work, but are there reasons to think it's really unlikely to work? How likely does recovery need to be for it to be worth it?

That was 35-40 years ago and the rate of technological evolution is speeding up, I'm not remotely experienced of clever enough to even guess what things are going to be like 150 years though. Or if I would want to be part of it.

Coincidentally I watched "Children of Men" last night and was very impressed with the image of futuristic London in 2027, it was by far one the best portrayals of the city that I've seen for a while.
