Until they have a way to freeze the body without destroying just about every cell in it, it's pointless. They could never revive you anyway. I suppose it's possible they could salvage enough DNA to create a clone, but that's pointless too.
if you had the money, would you have your body frozen when you die?

A better way of saying my post would be "Assuming the science boffs in the future could bring you back normal"
That wasn't the question and i don't belive it will ever be possible with the way you would be frozen.
but even if they can defrost you, you've still been dead for hours before you where frozen anyway, so have long since become irreparably dead.
ok what if it wasn't about the money and was a selection process, like a lottery. would you enter into it and go through with it? there'd be a chance it wouldn't work but you're dead anyway, it's cost you nothing to enter and if it does work it could be great.
i still don't think i'd sign up for it though, i was obviously not meant to live in an age where cars fly, just like i wasn't meant to live in an age where we lived in caves or were being invaded by vikings.

No, and Tefal raises another important point. Unless you die within a few minutes of the freezer you're done for anyway. The body destroys itself very quickly after death. Imagine if they froze (and then thawed) you after rigor mortis had set in.
By the time they had the technology to unfreeze people its possible they would have the technology to reverse the damage done to your body or even implant our memories into a new cloned body.
Yup, exactly as I thought as well, could freeze us now, then when they have the technology, bring us back and inject us with something to repair any dead/ damaged cells and if you had cancer or any other illnesses, surely they would have a cure by then, so technically you would have a perfect, healthy body again
Although about the memories, don't know how that would work, maybe something similar to the sixth day
, or they might just come back to you in time, like flashbacks, stuff which will trigger your memory.
very unlikely, and to get your memories they;d need your brain to be intact which it wouldn't be.

No your cells are simply destroyed to "repair" them you couldn't use an inject you'd need to some how completely rebuild them remove all the unwanted chemicals fix all the broken proteins etc.
in other words it would be probably be easier to bring you back from a sample of your hair.
By perfectly/healthy body I mean as in no illnesses, not being young and energetic as obviously that would need to be done now whilst where all still reasonably young, but if the technology was guaranteed to work today, personally I would have it done straight away.
