What would be the “Continuous Replacement” take on cryonics?
For this question, assume that cryonics works (revival succeeds) and is costless. From a personal identity standpoint, is cryonics any different from a nap? Would you be interested in cryonics only to the extent that your projects and relationships were still around? i.e. interested only if your loved ones were also preserved? Less interested the more time will pass before revival? Would projects very long-term projects like “learn how the world works” or “protect humanity” or “see how this all turns out” provide enough justification?
And out of curiosity: Are you signed up for cryonics or interested in signing up?
