> The 1% success rate is rather pessimistic, too.

Where do you get that? From what little I understand, 1% seems highly optimistic, given how destructive the freezing process is at the moment.




It's my own estimation based on the evidence I've seen. There's plenty of detail when you look at neural tissue using a microscope: http://www.alcor.org/Library/html/braincryopreservation1.htm...


That is not peer-reviewed research, and therefore I treat it about as seriously as I treat any other comment on the internet: at best incompetent, at worst maliciously deceiving. Considering its published by a company that makes money from freezing people...probably the latter.


By all means, please, show us peer reviewed sources that contradict it.
