 Since the war, recom scientists have continued some anti-aging research, primarily working on treatments to keep recoms healthy into their old age rather than extend their life span, as such.  This work has been complicated by the tangle of incompatible genetic sources that different recom lines were originally made from.
 ====== Cryonics ======
 In addition, pre-war culture developed the technology of cryonics.  This allows a body to be frozen in liquid nitrogen, stored for an indefinite time, and then revived.  In the most advanced implementations even a frozen head could be revived, with a new body synthesized by cloning and nano-fabrication to match it.
-Revival of any cryonically suspended persons requires the most advanced forms of [[nanotechnology]].  Most of this technology was lost during the war, and so cryonic suspension -- or at least, revival -- has become generally unavailable.  Although some use of nanotechnology is allowed for medical purposes, this does not extended to reviving frozen "corpsicles".  It is possible that some governments have secret laboratory facilities capable of carrying out the procedure if it were deemed high enough priority, however.
