I feel like a lot of the benefit of Nectome as described is in the MAiD procedure allowing for a much better preservation than in traditional cryonics.
Do you have much of a sense of the delta between Nectome and cryonics where both are done using MAiD?
I don’t have a good sense of how well MAiD cryonics can get in terms of information preservation. On the surface it should be a huge improvement, since it won’t have the ischemia issue, but three immediate things jump to mind: * Ken Hayworth effectively condemned the highest-quality cryo-tissue in 2015, not just the average case (which he agrees is much worse). * Cryo orgs store at −196, and there is a substantial risk of shattering at that temperature. * Being unable to survive thawing means cryo is more fragile in many ways.
