FYI the BPF's prize for technology to indefinitely preserve the synapses across a large, whole mammal brain has finally been won. Now that the science has been mostly verified, humans now have a path towards living Biblical lifespans.

Summary: Using a combination of deadly glutaraldehyde fixation and cryogenic storage, researchers have demonstrated a way to preserve a brain’s connectome (the 150 trillion synaptic connections presumed to encode all of a person’s knowledge) for centuries-long storage. This laboratory demonstration clears the way to develop Aldehyde-Stabilized Cryopreservation into a ‘last resort’ medical option, one that would not prevent the patient’s biological death but would prevent the destruction of the patient’s unique connectome, offering at least some hope for future revival via mind uploading.
