Anyone with an iota of training in Molecular Biology can see that this could be widely used as a part of many many techniques. As for Cryonics and Ray's 2030-ish timeline.. it's not that far away. How about living healthy (as Ray does), to make it to that point? That would be far more logical than self-preserving while young. Why is everyone here hooked on Cryonics?

You cannot get around the requirement by "suiciding" in circumstances convenient to cryopreservation, because the coroner demands to perform a post-mortem, and your body will be hacked-up and rotten by the time it concludes. Write your congressperson; for the sake of time-jumpers everywhere, we must change these laws! It is currently illegal to be cryonically preserved prior to naturally occurring death in all 50 states.

Despite this, I am planning to sign up. I remember that, in Carl Sagan's novel Contact, the leader of Hadden cybernetics build a "cryonic flying sarcophagus" for himself and left Earth inside it. I (or other courageous people) may also do the same: preserving ourselves when we are young and in "robust health". This supposedly make revival easier. As for the time of revival? I guess (from what I learned from Kurzweil's books and other sources) it will be sometime in the 2030s. Therefore, if I sign up now and immediately request to be preserved, I will 'time travel' through the 'Dark 2020s', a decade of predictably large number of social unrest due to technology-caused high unemployment rate, and wake up in the "Golden 2030s", when really magical (in ACClarke's term) progress is made.

It would be great if the researchers can build a kind of artificial cell-gate (the ones on the cellular plasma membrane), designed in a way that allow easier entrance of the 'larger molecules'.
