Likewise large doses of barbituates can suppress all measurable brain waves without destroying long term memories. Repairing the freezing damage looks much harder than curing any existing disease, so if revival is possible then curing the disease ought to be trivial. Old age is a disease that ought to be easier to cure than the freezing damage. He was a cryobiologist. The analogy is not valid.
Some animals can survive freezing, but no animals can survive grinding.
Freezing in liquid nitrogen preserves some information about the structure of the brain, which may make it possible to recover memories from that brain. Mummification involved pulling the brain out of the nose in little pieces, so the best that could be expected from a mummy is to build a clone and to give it plausible memories. According to Art Quaife as of 14 Jul 92, the baboon is well and has no signs of brain damage. Using the definitions in the glossary, they are legally dead but they may or may not be dead, depending on how memory is stored in the brain and how much this is affected by freezing damage. A person who has been cremated is dead.
