hey if you pay for just freezing the head would they freeze your dick also?

I can think of a lot of downsides to this.

@mikeborja1 The patterns and connections of brain cells encode your "essence" or mind so if you save the pattern you save the mind as well as the body.

@ARandomCanadian Yes ...more acurately they keep the mind and use your own DNA and boday structure to grown a new body and a new brain while maintaining the information structure that makes up your every memory and thought. You can be revived young and healthy or even super human in health, intelligence, strength ect...all with you same mind intact. Thats the plan anyhow! If it works then by defacto we will have nanotech and therefore the world will be a pretty great place.

@mikeborja1 everything that current neural medicine tells us is that your memory or personality is like software encoded on the morphic wetware that is your brain. All the information that composes your mind is encoded in the twisted nuerons and synaptic connections. So by locking them in place at LN2 temps you in essence save a persons data so that your personality can remain. As for your DNA if one cell makes it then clonning suggests we could regenerate tissue within your structural framework

@oriondynasty If you put it in your mouth, I suppose they would.

@Cdogpyjamas The video explains that at about 3 minutes in.

Fascinating video but wouldn't changing the molecular structure cause the items to shrink slightly? They don't mention the costs involved.
