I don't know how they can do that. Especially seeing your loved one having their skin cut off and vultures eating them. But I guess it's all culture and shit.

Googled this one at home last night. My dogs were watching as I looked at it. Then they looked at me and licked their lips.

I think they just figured out that under the right circumstances, I can be food too.

The point is that dead tissue is dead tissue. If we advance to a point that we can cure dead they aren't going to want your dumb arse around.


Also it would have been polite to have said that you were going to give in if people just said "you are wrong", you could have saved Zinfamous a lot of effort!

lol, that's an even better point and it totally flew by me! These guys don't even cryopreserve anything--they just freeze dead tissue. Reanimation is a wholly different thing.

With no due respect, I have experience with cryopreservation of living tissue and, no, you haven't really thought about this. The problem lies in freezing the tissue. If they knew how to do that, there would never be a "until maybe we can figure out how to thaw you!" clause in their... "business model."

Hey, SaltyNuts, I can probably give you the biggest dick that the world has ever seen, but first you need to let me cut off your dick so that I can grow it in an incubator with a nutrient slurry of stem cells, potassium, and goat blood (trust me--this works). I'll probably figure out how to reattach it at some point, but you really need to let me chop it off right now because it's the only way to give you the chance at a bigger dick in the future.

do you actually have experience with cryopreservation? legit question. non sperm related, that is.

lol--sperm, actually, but also embryos and oocytes. Not a lot, as my primary position when working in that lab was as a microinjectionist, which included all of the standard tasks that you'd see in an IVF facility...but in mice. Involved superovulation, collecting oocytes, injections--either pro-nuclear with DNA constructs or stem cells from different strains, containing constructs--and transferring those embryos back into mice--so, mouse surgery. Cryoperservation was one of the services we offered and I was trained to do it for a bit, but that wasn't my typical task--that was for sperm and embryos to preserve extremely important transgenic lines for investigators, and also part of IVF to try and restore sick and dying lines.

That was several years ago, but I'm actually doing similar things again, but in a different model system.
 
NOT like this 😵

Very cool. Did not know!

I think you underestimate the possibilities of future technology! They MIGHT not ever achieve the tech, but if they do, and you didn't preserve yourself, you fooked up big time!

I think you should probably put a big Post-It on your bong (and maybe even write this directly on it with a metallic marker) that says: "While in use, think twice, even three or four times, before posting even on ATOT. Ideas in the mirror appear much more profound than they really are."😛/😀/:whistle:
