Are there scientific studies on feasibility or lack of feasibility?
Dr. Ralph Merkle, examining the plausibility of cryonics in his essay ‘The Molecular Repair Of The Brain’, observes, “Interestingly (and somewhat to the author’s surprise) there are no published technical articles on cryonics that claim it won’t work…A literature search on cryonics along with personal inquiries has not produced a single technical paper on the subject that claims that cryonics is not feasible. On the other hand, technical papers and analyses of cryonics that speak favorably of its eventual success have been published. It is unreasonable, given the extant literature, to conclude that cryonics is unlikely to work.” Notable technical papers which provides scientific evidence for the feasibility of cryonics are: ANNALS OF THE NEW YORK ACADEMY OF SCIENCES; Lemler,J; 1019:559-563 (2004) and REJUVENATION RESEARCH; Best,B; 11(2):493-503 (2008). Q: Are there public statements by eminent scientists who recognize that cryonics has scientific merit? A: Yes. See Scientists’ Open L
