Why no one wants their brain cut into pieces and preserved chemically, squishy pieces in a jar style?
They don’t? I do. Well, after I’m clinically dead, preferably. And it’s an actual proposed alternative tech to cryonics. I don’t think people who are hedging on the pattern theory of identity to be correct in going for cryonics care much about how much the physical brain substrate gets sliced and diced during preservation, as long as the information about its structure remains reconstructible.
There are a bunch of cryonicists who are adamantly opposed to anything that messes with the biological brain staying as a single intact body though.
