Cryonics , Cryptography, and Maximum Likelihood Estimation by Ralph C. Merkle Xerox PARC , 3333 Coyote Hill Road, Palo Alto, CA, 94304. This paper was published in the Proceedings of the First Extropy Institute Conference, held at Sunnyvale, California in 1994. Some changes have been made to this version. A more general overview of the technical feasibility of cryonics is available at http://www.merkle.com/cryo/techFeas.html Introduction Most people, if they think of cryonics at all, think of Woody Allen in Sleeper , Sigorney Weaver in Aliens , or Mel Gibson in Forever Young . The hero, after spending decades or centuries in the deep freeze, thaws out gradually and somewhat painfully. Rather stiff from the cold, the warmth of the new era slowly penetrates into their chilled limbs until they at last stretch and look about the world with renewed interest and vitality. Not! All in all, our hero is not going to simply thaw out and walk off. And yet the literature on freezing injury, on ischemia, and on the other damage likely caused by a cryonic suspension forced me to conclude that cryonics would almost surely work: how can this be? Molecules and people Fundamentally, people are made of molecules. If those molecules are arranged in the right way, the person is healthy. If the're arranged in the wrong way, the person is unhealthy or worse. While a surgeon's knife does indeed rearrange molecular structure, it does so only in the crudest fashion. The living tissue itself is what really arranges and rearranges the intricate and subtle molecular structures that underlie life and health. When the tissue is too badly damaged, when intracellular levels of ATP are too low to provide the energy the tissue needs to function, when its own internal structure is disrupted, it can no longer heal itself. Today's surgical tools, gross and imprecise at the cellular and molecular level, can no more aid in this process than a wrecking ball could be used to repair a Swiss watch.

Cryonics: The Issues (An Overview) by Ben Best Cryonics Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) CONTENTS: LINKS TO SECTIONS BY TOPIC CRYONICS: PURPOSE AND DEFINITION CRYONICS AND DEATH CAN CRYONICS WORK? DOES CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURE DESTROY STRUCTURE? ... FURTHER INFORMATION I. CRYONICS: PURPOSE AND DEFINITION As defined in WEBSTER'S NEW UNIVERSAL UNABRIDGED DICTIONARY, cryonics is "the practice of freezing the body of a person who has just died in order to preserve it for possible resuscitation in the future, as when a cure for the disease that caused death has been found." If future molecular-repair technology can repair damage caused by cryopreservation (including freezing-damage), cure all diseases and stop (and reverse biological aging then cryonics is the "first aid" which can preserve contemporary humans for future science. A few people look forward to the time when their minds can be uploaded to a computer. In either case, cryonics may be the gateway to a future world of eternal youth and prosperity. Cryonics is to be distinguished from cryogenics , the physics of low temperature, and cryobiology , the science of low-temperature effects on biological systems. Use of the word "cryogenics" to mean "cryonics" is a quick tip-off that the speaker or writer is ignorant of the subject of cryonics.

What is cryonics? Many people confuse the terms cryogenics, cryobiology, suspended animation, cryonic suspension, and cryonics. Here are my definitions of these terms, which I believe are pretty much standard. Cryogenics The study of materials at very low temperatures (near absolute zero). Cryogenics is a branch of physics. Cryobiology The study of the effect of low temperatures (below the freezing point of water) on biological systems. A primary goal of this field is the preservation and long term storage of organ systems such as hearts, kidneys, etc. for use in transplantation. This goal has not yet been reached and currently only individual cells and organisms consisting of only a very few cells (such as embryos) can be successfully treated, stored, and revived. Suspended animation This term refers to the ability to start and stop, at will, a biological system (usually a person) through some physical means (usually the use of cold temperatures). Suspended animation does not currently exist. Cryonic suspension A (currently non-standard) medical technique for attempting to prevent the permanent cessation of life in individuals on the brink of death. It involves the use of low temperatures to halt metabolic decay. A person who is cryonically suspended can

We are increasingly dependent on computers for everything finances, communications, transportation, manufacturing, our health and even our lives and our dependence on computers is increasing exponentially. Yet today viruses and worms are rampant, we're flooded with spam, identity theft is common, and hackers can commandeer computers almost at will to disrupt and shut down vital services. This must and will change. A host of security methods are known, and new ones are being developed all the time.

A Simple Proposition A s mankind prepares to launch itself into a new millenium, the only thing that seems certain about our future is that there will be change. For many years now, our society and culture have been undergoing unprecedented transformation, thanks in part to the effects of improving technology. For some, the accelerating pace of change seems disconcerting, maybe even frightening. Such people see more upheaval and chaos than renaissance and revolution. But for many of us, there is an altogether different feeling, a feeling that there has never been a more exciting time to be alive. In the field of medicine in particular, there is cause for great optimism. We have never had greater power for restoring, maintaining and extending health, and yet the big payoff is clearly still ahead of us. Each year that passes marks a new record for medical research funding, and the impetus to greatly increase that funding is gaining strength daily. Many scientists now believe that, given enough time and money, most or all of today's major illnesses and causes of death might one day be cured through increasingly precise, molecular-based technology. Perhaps more startlingly, it even seems possible that the aging process itself (which is beginning to look less mysterious and more like other diseases) might also be cured through medical means, maybe even during the 21st century. In time, human beings might live such long, healthy lives that they begin to view the current average lifespan of nearly 80 years much as we view the less than 25 year lifespan of prehistoric humans (i.e.

The Council of State ruled that freezing corpses a technique known as cryonics that is allowed in the United States, Britain and some other countries was not provided for under French law and the corpse must be buried or cremated. The defendants, Michel and Joelle Leroy, and Remy Martinot, another man fighting to stop local officials switching off the freezers where his late parents lie, must now go to the European Court of Human Rights as their last hope. The Martinot case had attracted interest after the son opened the vault containing the freezer as a $4-a-visit tourist attraction. "Conserving the corpse of a deceased person by freezing does not amount to a burial allowed by current statutes," the Council declared in its ruling.
