Yep the huge loss of viable cells would put paid to mummies walking around anytime soon. The same goes with frozen gamets in which typically 50 -60% will be dead when thawed out. I think the next step in retaining someones memory/thoughts will have to be through electronic means. Would you still be present? I dont think so. We all have a used by date encoded in our DNA via telomeric sequences at the ends of the chromosomes. These are shortend every time replication takes place until there is none left and the cell dies.
