The yellow segment—the state of medical technological advancement as time moves forward (which relates to If 2)

黄条是医疗技术先进水平的进程(条件2)


As medical technology becomes more and more advanced, the yellow segment grows—but while the blue segment extends to the right as it grows, the yellow segment extends to the left. The key point happens when technology eventually gets so good that the yellow segment meets the blue segment and you become officially revivable.
医疗技术越进步,黄条越长,蓝黄条也越靠近。技术最终好到黄条挨着蓝条,你也就真的能被复活了。

Some questions:
一些问题:

Will If 2 happen? Will technology ever reach the point when it can revive you?
条件2会发生吗?技术会达到复活你的水平吗?

Assuming If 1 gets a check mark, cryonicists believe If 2 is likely to one day get a check mark too. Because there are only two ways to totally fail If 2:
只要条件1会发生,条件2就会发生。因为想让2失败只有两个原因:

1) For some reason, humans permanently stop working on medical technology advancements before you hit the If 2 key point.
人类医疗水平很长一段时间直到条件2都没有发展。

2) Humans go extinct before hitting the If 2 key point.
还没到条件2人类就灭绝了。

Barring those two situations, If 2 should eventually cooperate. The theory is that with enough future technology, you’ll one day be revivable.
上面两种情况不发生,条件2就会发生。理论上说未来技术一定可以复活你。
