if you had the money, would you have your body frozen when you die?

cm1179 · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:09

and then, when technology allows, be brought back to life when cars fly and the internet is a laughable distant memory?

Megahurtz400 · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:10

Definately

Russinating · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:15

Sure. Why not?

the fact you might not be able to adapt and end up with one massive brain melt

I don't see the point, the process destroys the body beyond recovery.
Rather give the money to family/charity/other people.
Nothing more than a scam ATM.

ScarySquirrel · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:24

Yes. I would then create a community for fellow frozen time travelers.

sanaxe1 · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:25

I'd do it.

Greenlizard0 · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:26

Absolutely, but I want my memories from this time kept.

As this really. Whats the point?

If the X factor was still on I wouldn't want to be unfrozen.

True say!

Surely we're assuming that you could come back and be completely functional and normal?

So the choice is death... or death?

Might as well give it a shot.

EdGey · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:44

No I'm not sure I would.

I like the internet. I also like cars the way they are.

edit: Oh wait, when you die?

Well yes, who wouldnt??

Glaucus · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:45

Why would you assume that? Question was if you had the money would you do it.
I'm saying no, as at the moment it is a scam and damages the body and cells even more than initial death.

Nexus18 · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:46

Yup, definately.

It would be so cool, be like the fifth element or judge dread

, or even better

ChrisJSY · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:46

Yes, no question.

It doesn't seem likely at the moment given the technology used to freeze you means that your cell walls burst (if memory serves) so it's pretty useless except as a very expensive way of becoming a rather grim ice lolly. If they can get beyond that problem and manage to re-animate people then it might be worth considering - even then I'm not sure I'd be all that keen, unless you die suddenly when young and are frozen instantly you're simply being brought back as an old person, probably with the health problems that contributed to your demise.

A better way of saying my post would be "Assuming the science boffs in the future could bring you back normal"

Tefal · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:48

No because it would only be usefull if you're alive at the time you where frozen 9assuming you could freeze someone without destroying them permanently anyway), and it can't be done then as it would be murder.
