Cryonics, Michio Kaku and Max More on Cryonics

Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Michio Kaku and Max More talk about Cryonics.

Just because a person is an expert in one field, doesn't mean they are an expert in another field.

I took too long to find this YT channel (I’m a longtime Alcor member), but BRAVO❗️on this production. Well done!

[Sketchbag]

Excellent rebuttal and offer! Would love to watch/listen to that debate!

[markuscraig]

That video is old tho like he talked about water freezing making ice crystals but we have found a way around that now. So i wonder how he feels about it now.

[RAUFBEDAR]

Yes that is very interesting I would like to see that debate and I would like to sign up for it how can I do that thank you

Why is there so much doubt of possible success? It seems some people feel they know the future. I bet there were people in the 1400's who could not imagine man actually flying? The idea of modern communication seemed impossible. Do you think people from the middle ages could conceive the idea of smartphones and all the modern things that exist? Did anyone in that era think heart transplants or hip replacement surgery was going to be possible. Just our smartphones do things that would require computers the size of buildings .Mankind has progressed in science and medicine so much. What we may believe is impossible today may be a simple thing 100 or 1000 years from now. None of us know what will happen in the future or how advance science and medicine may get to be. So dismissing the possibilities is quite naive.

Why is Neil DeGrasse Tyson in the description, but not the video?

[nonamebleach]

I want to be frozen and woken up in the year 4000. Far far away from this time.

How could you mess up Glucose and Glycerol? 9:10

Glucose is a carbohydrate (monosaccharide), but glycerol is a polyhydric alcohol. Glucose is the basic unit, of which polysaccharides like starch and are cellulose are composed. On hydrolysis they yield glucose only. Glycerol is an essential component of oils and fats, which are called esters or triglycerides

I myself am dead serious about cryonics. Even one in a billion chance is still better than being dug into ground and be gone forever. If I were a grandpa age right now the subject would not even be up for a discussion. I'd do it.

While I believe it may be possible to revive people someday in the future, I seriously worry about the ethical issues behind.
1. Is there any chance a person can integrate into the society again after being revived (let’s say 50 years distance from one’s ‘death’)
2. This technology, which I believe is very likely to fall into the hands of dictators— as we see that communist leaders were aspired with the idea of body preservation (Mao, Stalin etc). While categorically different, there are still similarities between two. It’s denying the natural mechanism to rebalance society through death. I believe the technology is neutral, but I worry that the technology can amplify/ perpetuate the evilness.
3. Unless there is enough public debates and new legislation, this new technology in the future shall not be allowed to revive anyone. It’s not a personal, but a civil/public matter. Another question of whom to revive and whom not to be revived is a problem in itself. Would people of certain political beliefs are not allowed to be revived? Would this technology going to be an even more divisive instrument in the future?

All the technical issues can be addressed in a relatively easy way. It’s just a matter of time, but the most fundamental human questions must be raised right now.

11:05 Is that so? In your PBS interview you talk about indefinite lifespan and death just being an option, so he's absolutely correct in that your org is suggesting to gullible folks that "living forever" is achievable.

4 years and no answer from the asian man

[tapuout]

If a person pays before the time of death. Who questions if you care to bring the person back? For example: You pay a contractor in full for them to build you a house. You know it wont get done.

i enjoy life because we have everything here on earth because we have phones and food technology

Max More has a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford University in St Anne's College, Oxford. While that is to be admired, he is NOT a scientist nor does he have a science background. Michio Kaku graduated from Harvard University in Physics and later attended the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley. His field of work is in theoretical physics. Guess who I'm going to believe.

What stops these companies from collecting from 10k people and declaring bankruptcy and walking away with all the money paid to them

[Jesse-opwd]

Please stop saying cryogenics. That's not what this is.

[mathewsullivan]

Michio, there is a new scientific publication coming out soon about the preservation of memory.

[chrisroman]

What happens when that company goes bankrupt, your body most likely be given to next of kin and disposed. How many company's have we lost over decades 🤔.
