Hello Doctor, I was the "long winded" fellow who spoke about cryonics on the show. I would like to say that I thought you did a good job with your rebuttal. I agreed with almost all of it. Since you were arguing about what is not possible today and all the exhaustive hurdles that would have to be overcome. I think most of us Cryonicists understand this deeply but the whole point is not what we can do today but rather about the very uncertain future and that is precisely why we ask these questions and pursue the path we do. We are optimist's and gamblers with a very clear and logical Pascal's wager. My only concern was your certainty in regards to irreversible or complete brain damage. You simply do not know what may be possible in the future anymore then how much recovery will take place with a current stroke patient after recovery. That is supposing we don't have Advanced AI, internal Stem cell regeneration, Molecular nanotechnology etc etc. Humility dictates that we just don't know the future so your expertise is limited to the here and now.
