| Cryonics as an elective medical procedureThe criticism that delays between pronouncement of legal death and start of cryonics procedures will cause irreversible injury to the brain is unfair because it treats the current social and legal obstacles to perform better stabilization of cryonics patients as an intrinsic element of cryonics itself. |

That will only happen once reversibility is first proven in at least a small mammal.
Suggest support 21CM's efforts or someone with some financial clout offers a 'put up or shut up' prize of $10 million if someone can reversibly suspend/ultrahibernate a small mammal within the next 10 years AND if no-one succeeds, the $10 million offer is withdrawn.
This will improve the likelyhood of funding rises for the existing players (as they can ask for money so that they can win the money) and improve the chances of new minds entering the field.
Of course it would be better still if the existing players also had a boost to their limited funding also!!!
NOTE: If reversibility is proven in a small mammal, the scenario is NOT similar to a medicine which is proven to work in a mouse.
This is more like a surgical procedure where the likelyhood of it working exactly the same in a larger mammal is almost guaranteed (unlike development of medicines).
