"Have fun with that whole 'dying' thing. "

Holy shit Athena Andreadis is an expert in her field, I like the way you quotation it "actual scientist"....as if she isn't one.

30% chance of what?...even hardcore cryonicists like Max More only give themselves a 10% chance.

Yes...it is.

I always assumed Annalee would be super prepared for this sort of thing, so everyone get to Annalee's bunker!.....On the bounce.

X2...sounds like a hoot...and she died alone.

No offence (seriously I know people say that to be sarcastic but I'm not) Andre but I have been reading up stuff on this very subject by people far smarter then me who seem to say this is not as easy as you make it out to be....not even close.

If Io9 keeps posting articles like this you're going to give poor Ray Kurzweil a stroke from all the furious hob nobbing he'll inflict on himself in excitement.

Kurzweilian's run on major amounts of WOO.

I can only imagine Ray Kurzweil wanked himself unconcious at the mere mention of this happening.....

I don't watch this, but fuck if the recaps don't make it sound insane.

See you on the other side spaceman.....you lived it.
