Freezing !!

I don't think so, in much the same way I wouldn't want to be immortal. Life is as much about the people that are in it as it is about just being alive so if I wake up and everyone I knew is dead it seems a little pointless.
Then where does it end, do I get ice cubed every time I die in a never ending loop?
 
Unless they are funding it themselves it seems pretty selfish. This kind of thing will only increase in popularity too, its highly unlikely anyone could be restored and being frozen instead means you cannot donate your organs.

Although I would love to see someone unfrozen and resuscitated, sadly I don't expect that would happen in my lifetime!
 
The recent case of the 14 year old dying of cancer was tragic, she must have felt so desperate for a chance to live. :(
No winners there (except the people running the cryogenic companies I suspect )
 
Issue is that lets say it works and they find a cure for her and work out how to revive people.

Thats going to be what 50 maybe 100 years?

So all her family and friends will be dead and she won't recognize the world she wakes up to.

It would be like reviving somebody from 1916 now. Do you think a person's mind would be able to cope and they could fit in?
 
I thought this was a post about the london weather. And no, I do not want to be frozen after death. I don't think scientists will bother reviving me. Like those tons of mummified cats from egypt. Theyre being used as firewood
 
I predict an interesting future for you OP...


EDIT: How the heck do you get YouTube embeds to work?

i'm not religious at all , but they say that the soul leaves the body the second you die , so does that mean "when and if" they revive you you will have no soul ?
 
No, the point being dead is you are no longer hogging the Earth's resources. Being put in a freezer for the next 1000 years boggles the mind. Cryonics is also quackery, no scientific basis behind it whatsoever.

That's not the point of this court ruling to allow this girl to have it done. I think it's more about giving her what she wanted as her last dying request. A shed of hope and happiness, it's all really quite sad. I understand there were problems between the girl and her parents too, their relationship was described as "estranged"?

I don't think anyone really expects anything more than her being frozen forever, but at least the child got what she wanted. That's the important point.

the earth being round was quackery, no scientific basis behind it whatsoever, until someone found out that scientific basis and suddenly it wasn't quackery anymore. That is of course unless you are on of these flat earth crack smokers.
 
I wonder what sort of funeral the poor girl had. All funerals are mourning the end of a life, full stop. But with this one, you're kind of hoping they come back eventually, so all that rest in heaven business must go out of the window.
