1.4. Limitations and Challenges

The technology has real limitations: we can't preserve people alive, we can't currently reverse the process, and quality degrades rapidly once decay starts. Some of these are engineering problems that money and time might solve. Others might be fundamental barriers with the current technology. You need to understand which is which and where the uncertainty actually lies, so you can form calibrated beliefs about what you're actually signing up for and what plausible futures look like.
