I don't see why, unless you think that if the ancient Egyptian's
were unsuccessful at something then nobody has a chance of ever
doing any better. But I think we may have learned a few things
about science and technology in the last 4000 years so it may be
time to give it another try.

In order to really make this work you need Maxwell's demon. OK, of
course this will really be some form of nanotech that is able to apply
information to repair on a molecular level damage done by freezing. It
is not impossible, but the prospects are daunting. The difficulties
with this I see as far beyond the problem of transplanting a brain
into a body, where for N = 10^10 neural connections there are some N!
possible combinations. It is not impossible in principle, but things
like this are not likely to come very soon.
I can't predict the future with much certainty. David Byrne made an
interesting point on this. However, it seems most probable that the
more "pie in the sky"some prediction on the future is the less likely,

I have a much simpler solution. We'll just have an AI train on all
JKC's emails and other media and recreate his personality and memories
in a robot. I wonder how much he will pay for that? It has a lot
higher probability of providing him with immortality than does ALCOR.
