[extropy-chat] transhumanist nut jobs

[Robert Bradbury]

I've been aware of this work for the last few months.  Interesting that it
is largely the military that is funding it.  If they put people with
battlefield injuries into suspended animation to allow for extended repair
procedures the body bag count is likely to decrease.  I would anticipate the
next area they would be interested in funding should be limb regrowth.

Now of course this just takes us a step further down the slippery slope of
"I'm not dead yet!"

The question really becomes, how far will the envelope be pushed?  I'm
undecided as to whether pureeing my brain in a blender on low speed or
dropping my frozen brain on the floor will actually manage to make me really
and truly dead.  The whole incineration at several thousand degrees thingy
seems like such a waste of energy.
