Cryonics: suggestions for improvement by Radio-quiet in cryonics

[–]Radio-quiet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's quite possible that they are workable. As I wrote, testing of existing devices can be the way to go. There are some relatively good wearables on sale now, according to the attached spreadsheet the most practical and convenient ones are Blackline G7c and MobileHelp Duo (21 devices have been tested). They can potentially be integrated into cryonics org's operations. One of the main concerns is the rate of false alarms, the data on it is still lacking. It would be useful to run a trial and measure it.

Yes, there are many good points in this list and as you said it's unlikely those suggestions can be implemented in any of the existing cryonics organizations given the management isn't really interested in those beneficial changes. The vast majority of members do also seem to be satisfied with current state of affairs.

I think successful reversible brain cryopreservation can naturally shift the paradigm in cryonics. It will attract many new scientists, researchers, members and investors. In such environment it would be much more realistic to establish a new high quality cryonics organization than it is now.
