- Excuse me, but the posting on persons insuring that the universe "remembers"
- them through cryogenics sounds like complete gibberish.

- Quantum effects are visible on a macroscopic scale only in very specialized
- situations. At last mention of such phenomena, Schroedingers cat lives or
- dies before its observed, quantum does not apply on this scale.
-
- I read your subject line, and expected a discussion on quantum "memory"
- erasure, or the possibility that even at millikelvin temperatures the
- electrical state of the brain may change, and thus beyond a certain time
- a persons identity may not be able to be restored by thawing.
