They believe that because they've seen it -- if you
can do it to frogs and hamsters and dogs, you can
do it to people. Empirical evidence is a good
indicator. Once we find a solution to the problem
of cell rupture (and I think nanotech will solve that
soon), we're there.

I don't think people's brains get "full." Humans
only use 5-25% of their brain's capacity anyway.
Many humans do get some sort of dementia when
they get older, but the idea is that by the time they
are thawed out, we'll also have the science
necessary to correct that.

In a way, I'm glad that there aren't very many
people interested in being frozen -- that means
that the argument about cryonics causing
overpopulation can be thrown out.

If I'm frozen (which I plan to be) and revived 1,000
years later, the world will be a very different place,
yes. We might not even be on this planet
anymore. Many things would be
incomprehensible. But, oh! what an adventure, to
learn all the new things!
