Max More + Natasha Vita-More are pioneer transhumanists. Not Max's real last name, a lot of extropians go for something more forward looking.

Here's a paper Natasha wrote last year on the discovery that C.Elegans (modal organism used in everything) retains memory after they have been revived.
Persistence of Long-Term Memory in Vitrified and Revived Caenorhabditis elegans. - PubMed - NCBI

It's a social not a technical problem whether post-humans will bring back vitrified people, I wouldn't want to come back anything less than angelic.
Cryonics is a great stop gap before real genetic engineering and rejuvenation picks up pace over the coming century.

The legal side of cryonics is fascinating, ideally you want to be vitrified a few hours before your nominal death.

Not sure what the post was about Blonde, what are you telling me again?
