Looking back is a funny thing
February 4, 2025
After I decided to revive this web site as a more traditional blogging sort of thing, I decided to go back and look at some of the earlier stuff that I had written - it is funny how much stuff changes but stays the same . .

For many years during discussions with people who may have an interest in Cryonics or Suspended Animation of Life Extension in general, I keep getting the same sorts of questions. The amount of time that I have been spending on these sorts of exercises just keeps going up - it was becoming hard to find time to deal with it all and keep all the other things I was involved in moving along as well - the rent needs to be paid, I need to get some exercise etc etc!
. . .
I think a period of time is fast approaching when the numbers of people interested in longevity-related topics is about to skyrocket. People are going to need scientific and evidence-based information to make decisions about both their future "animated" (warm) and "deanimated" (cold) lives. While the prospect of reviving people from liquid nitrogen temperatures in the future is speculative (and will depend on luck to some extent) it is not precluded by any scientific laws and is therefore possible. People without a scientific or medical background (or those with no free time to study the area) can be helped by services such as those which we are creating here.

Research
Originally I was intending to set up a family Cryonics facility but things did not go as planned and the proposal for an Australian Cryonics facility was taken up by others (see Stasis Systems in the side bar). Part of the plan for the original facility was to fund research into various forms of Suspended Animation and while I am still interested in the possibility, other (related) projects of more urgency have taken priority.
If some progress is made with the other projects, I will revisit this idea of funding Australian research with a view to extending the cooling process that is already used in brain and heart operations to longer and longer durations.
