Open Letter on Brain Preservation

I totally support this. Let us live forever, it doesn’t hurt to try.

Tysm

I want my brain preserved after death. This looks rad.

I appreciate all of your efforts towards a better future for humanity.

Curing death seems like a good idea.

Eternity pls

I've always

My name is Alejandro Esquivel Bahena, I live in California (Central Valley). I have partial epilepsy and, I stand in firm affirmation that brain preservation is the future. I am very excited and will do ANYTHING possible to volunteer and help reach the goals of the Brain Preservation Foundation. -Alejandro Esquivel

This is necessary.

This is the way

I believe that a form of "life after death" is scientifically achievable one day (and should be commercially available) by preserving the brain in full after clinical death to be "digitally re-animated" in the future in a virtual world. The host should be able to decide what kind of heaven they want after their biological life has ended in a virtual setting. The brain needs to be safely preserved until technology is able to copy / implant the brain in a digital format. Could be in 100 years time, but we need a preservation strategy now to start seriously making this a reality.

I'm a highschool student aspiring to become a neuroscientist. In the future, I want to work as a researcher on this exact topic and help the efforts in developing the means for it. I believe that death should be a choice, not an inevitability. Brain preservation is currently the only method to lower the percentage of people that die from the 100% it's been resting on for millennia.

I believe that through science and technology humanity can evolve beyond biological bodies and that it is wrong to let people age and die simply because old ideas of philosophy dictate to us what we can and cannot do. Science and technology can and will make us immortal.

I support and agree with what this science is trying to accomplish in so far as trying to preserve a human brain perfectly and then revive it and restore it to perfect health. I believe our consciousness, the "I Am" factor of what makes us unique is a self-emergent property in the (original) brain. I am not opposed to mind-uploading per se, but would personally prefer the revived healthy original brain. Mind-uploading is simply a "digital copy of a mind" in my opinion. But I do support this endeavor.

I want to upload my dog. And my dying loved ones.

If you can provide those who want it, a choice for a chance to continue life's adventure beyond the failure of their original biological body, why wouldn't you? At this point in time some hope for a future is better than none. I, myself, would like to continue into the deep future and share it with those that would choose to share it with me. Or to end the adventure when I choose to and not due to the limits of biology. The World also should not be stripped of the wisdom of a generation every generation.

I really believe that brain preservation should be an option for end of life patients if they choose to do so.

Think of the potential of mind uploading: scientists would be able to continue working in their field for much longer than our biological life spans allow, knowledge could be shared and taught across many generations, and humanity as a whole would move forward with all the wisdom and knowledge of uploaded ancestors to draw upon.

This could be a good way to preserve people and keep them alive till you are able to come up a use for it

Death is an illness, and all of our greatest medical advancements have been in pursuit of that goal, which is not an if but a when. We have advanced to the point where we know now that life is all we have, nothing before or after, so we need to do everything we can to make it truly last forever, no matter its form. This is one of those forms. This science, and it is science, is criminally overlooked.
