What Hacker News says?
This seems like a classic broken window fallacy. I don't think you really appreciate how huge the huge is: > The cost of the Cold War was staggering; for the US the bill was $19.65 trillion (1948-1991) in 2010 dollars, of which $8,731.5 billion (also in 2010 dollars) was expended directly for nuclear arms.[34], [35] Precise data for the dollar cost of the Cold War to the USSR are not available, however it is general…

HN discussionIn other words, the reason we don't have flying cars is the same reason we don't have nuclear powered devices that run for decades or centuries without recharging. We can't trust the general public to be responsible with them. Thinking of this article that was on the front page of HN a couple days ago: http://chronopause.com/index.php/2011/02/07/67/

HN discussionIt is clear that you have done a good amount of research, which is great! If you look further, you will find that in fact there are plenty of people who are interested in precisely this aspect of brain preservation/cryonics. See, for example, [1], [2], [3], [4].
