Your 'reasons' were that "others" (unspecified) "had done so quite

No. I meant to determine what you personally knew about the topic
because you'd linked a news splash story that already strained my
credibility by associating "printing" with biological organs (though it 
caught my interest as it was you that posted it and I'd heard Eugen
talk of something similar) to your own notions on cryonics.
