Suspended animation

[Aedus]

Thinking about stuff like this ****s with my head

 

[Marine Iguana]

so cool as long as I can take a fully charged Ipod with me and my car I would do it just for a laugh Oh and put a few quid in the bank

 

[jp_bl_68]

What if you woke up and everyone was stupid?

That happens every day.


I'd leave a post-it on my cryo-tube: "Wake me up when hooker bots are cheap and plentiful."

 

[Van Hellseek]

Why would you want to live in the future? They'll be no Oil!

We're living in a golden era right now, and nobody appreciates it!

 

[PardonTheWait]

I wouldn't. Too much risk of everyone in the future being stupid/clever/dead/at war/cannibals/gone somewhere else.

 

[markweatherill]

Invest all your money in a high interest account and wake up 100 years later when you're a billionaire. Only to find an Islamic interest free society!

 

[Cosimo]

The thought of waking up being surrounded by aliens makes me, no wait, I’ll do it.

 

[crisbduck]

tbf it'd be nice, but theres waaay too much to miss here and now, eg. people you know, no?

 

[semi-pro waster]

If I could be sure some twerp wasn't going to drop a bomb or something on me while I was sleeping, I'd consider a 100 year trip.

On the bright side you're unlikely to know anything about it, you'd just never wake up from the suspended animation because you'd be blown up. Since you've got to die at some point not knowing that you're about to peg it is probably an ok way to go.

I can't say I'd particularly want to be put into suspended animation, while it might be interesting to see the new technology and/or how badly we've screwed up the World, there'll probably be some major difficulties adapting and the prospect of outliving everyone I know is not appealing.

 

[Smit]

Wouldn't do it. I'd probably wake up and have to work for a space delivery company and my best friend would be a robot

 

[lucky13]

I would want to come back quite a long time in the future after our civilisation has fallen and it is like the dark ages then I could become a god inventing new things for the people and having my pick of the women.

Power init!

 

[Blue Cypher]

I would be lying if i said i wouldnt think about it, but i think i wouldnt go through with it, i mean there are just too many people i would miss

 

[rypt]

I'd freeze my self at say 45-50 for 100-150 years, by then we'd have a way to make you young again, so then you can live for ever as a 20 something year old

 

[Cr0fty]

I would probably do this when i reached age 50 or such knowledgeable age. Then spend my final years visiting every new century up until 4000 where death shall take me in an almighty new years party of futuristic epic splendour.

 

[Smit]

but what if the building was destroyed while you are frozen, you have effectively just been killed and never wake up

 

[Kitejumper]

I think I have to wait till one of you nutters had done say 10 years od cryo sleep and then been reanimated, just to see how fubar you may have become. I think we would hope for a Star trek universe utopia but no doubt with mans nature to destroy you could end up in a nightmare with zero chance of hooker bots. A sort of "The Road" meets "madmax" with a very bad headache and no backup plan.

Still i probably do it
