• Cryonics vs. the pandemic

    From Keith F. Lynch@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 21 14:47:12 2020
    To my knowledge, in the US there are cryonics patients in Arizona,
    California, and Michigan, and one in Colorado. They're not dependent
    on electricity, despite all the comic strips that show them being
    accidentally unplugged. But they are stored in liquid nitrogen, which
    has to be regularly replenished, as it gradually boils off. And it
    has been replenished, in some cases for over 53 years.

    I'm curious what's happening in California now that all "non-
    essential" businesses are shut down. Since the law doesn't recognize
    those patients as having any hope of revival, presuably both the
    cryonics firms themselves and the firms that manufacture and deliver
    the liquid nitrogen to them are considered non-essential.
