[MURG] Re: Cryonics costs

[Anna]

This depends on individual memory. But DNA plus an old memory would be enough to recreate "you".
Memory can be recorded  right before a natural death and stored till ready to use.   
Cryonics are not an answer since all matter including the "dead
kind, is a subject to time, and  physical damage  is almost  a bet.  
What it means, even if you would be resurrected, it won't be "you".

  Um... what exactly do you plan to do with the DNA? You are a product
  of your genes and your environment. A clone created from your DNA may
  be your genetic twin, but it would not be the same person, in the same
  way that if you have an identical twin, they aren't you.
