DEEP THOUGHT 11.2

What's up? It's Lord Avanton. More on Cryonics! I've done a little more on the term paper, documenting how Cryonics got started and it's really interesting. It started with this guy called Robert Ettinger. The idea of cryonics started in his head when he read "The Jameson Satellite". In the story a guy named Professor Jameson who was dying of brain cancer launched himself into space. This was based on the mistaken belief that space was totally safe and wouldn't turn you inside out the second you got out of atmosphere. These were ignorant people ladies and gentlemen. Anyway, in the story, Jameson's body was preserved until a race of mechanical men rescued his body, saved his brain and installed it in one of their mechanical bodies. He lived as one of them for the rest of his days. This being said, I wonder though if there's a way to preserve bodies in a similar fashion instead of wasting all of this money on cryonics chambers and stuff like that. It's interesting though, because the brain thing works pretty well. Scientists have done it to hamsters with total brain recovery. A scientist did it to a rabbit but the rabbit showed signs of mental retardation. This experiment was totally inconsistent with nearly everything else anyone had ever achieved, making some believe that the experiment was a set up from the start. Whatever it was, it's one out of like, a million so hey, WHO THE HELL CARES?!?!? Oh, right, those anti-cryonics folks. It's just one more argument for their seemingly inexhaustible arsenal. Now I'm not taking sides, I've just seen that the con's outweigh the pros and you have to REALLY believe in this shit to have the balls to do it. That means that over 200 people have more balls than I do and you know what? Good for them! I'm just not that kind of person, maybe I will be later, who knows? Alright, I'm done here. Rate, comment, "and all that jazz". LOL Mr. Brady reference. All right, PEACE!!
