Cryonics isn't fiction. It's based on science -- an emerging science, the logical conclusion to a growing accumulation of hard scientific facts. Such as? - The fact that several types of living creatures have been already frozen to liquid nitrogen temperature and below, where they exhibited no signs of life and experienced no signs of decay -- and were then restored to functioning normal life. - The fact that human tissues, including brain tissue and sperm and even human embryos, have also been cooled on literally thousands of occasions to a seemingly non-living state, and have been again restored to life. - The fact that scientific procedures for the avoidance of freezing damage (through a process called vitrification) and for the repair of freezing damage (through nanotechnological cell repair) have been developed in theory and are even now being developed in practice. - The fact that research which could contribute to making cryonics a reality is even now being funded in the millions and even (in the case of nanotechnology) in the billions of dollars world-wide. - The fact that increasing numbers of reputable and respected mainstream scientists have not only flatly stated that cryonics can work, but have even signed up to receive cryonics services themselves. - The fact that cryonics organizations like CI not only exist in the real world today, but have shown themselves able to keep patients safely in cryostasis for decades.
