Cryonics Presentation [help request]

2 Post author: MathieuRoy 09 November 2013 08:51PM

This Monday (November 11th 2013 EDIT: it has been postponed to November 18th 2013) I will participate in a 'scientific communication' competition Laval University. If I win, I will go to the Quebec Engineering Competition (http://cqi-qec.qc.ca/). If I win again, I will go to the Canadian Engineering Competition (http://cec.cfes.ca/).

I need to do a presentation of 15 to 20 minutes. Then the judges can ask me questions during 10 minutes. I will do my presentation on cryonics. I want to invest approximately 12 to 15 hours for preparing it. I will not have time to read everything there is on Internet about cryonics in that time period, so if some of you are familiar with the subject, I would appreciate if you could link me to the best resources on the scientific and ethic aspects of cryonics.

I will do my presentation with Google Drive Presentation. It will be in French. I will put the link here later on if someone wants to review the presentation (EDIT: the presentation is done; you can see it and comment it on Google Drive). Moreover, I would like to practice my presentation tomorrow in a Google+ hangout if some people want to watch and comment it.

Thank you.

P.S.: If there are any Canadian engineering students reading this, check out the competition: there's 7 categories and it's a really interesting competition in my opinion.

One of the better introductory cryo resources I know is Ben Best's FAQ, at http://www.benbest.com/cryonics/cryonics.html . My own presentation of the basic reasoning involved is at http://blog.datapacrat.com/2012/11/01/dpr-is-now-a-full-fledged-cryonicist/ .
