Cryonics

The basic metaphysical concept behind cryonics is the information theory of death. According to the information theory of death, you aren’t dead until the structures responsible for generating or expressing your consciousness are damaged beyond hope of recovery. If you accept the information theory of death, then any transportation or transposition of that information would be revival of life, the substrate being viewed as irrelevant.

They haven’t lost a stream of interested people as far as cryonic practice goes. Would you rather not be a created life form? Is being a randomly occurring life form all that cool?
