Many of you know that I’m agnostic; I don’t have any clue what happens when you die, but have no reason to think that my consciousness will continue on after death. The only thing that I can think to make me feel a little more at ease with my death is to secure cryopreservation plans on the off-chance that they figure out how to revive people in the future. The way I see it, it’s a better bet than decomposing or getting cremated.

Wow, that's crazy so she's hopeing that in the future they will be able to cure her... Sounds crazy but you never know. I wonder if she'll go as far in the future as Fry did.

Maybe she'll meet Fry XD

It's a nice try and all, but even if the freezing works and she can be revived, there's no assurance that it is truly her, or another her created by giving life to a dead body.

[WaddleDee]

It's so very plausible when you think about it.

Things like people being reanimated hours after their death and being okay happens, so if they do find a way to bring her back to life in the future, well, she might aswell still be fine then.


Time to start raising that $35,000

Not really worth it. I don't believe in that cryostasis kind of stuff.

Wow...

That's like saying good bye to everyone you know...

It's like dying.... they will never see you again

She will be dead anyway, she wouldn't be frozen while she's still living.

It is a far leap, but the way humans defy (or actually use) logic to create solutions has always been insane. It's so very possible we'll discover cell restoration or something in the future.

We have no way of reviving a frozen body, our cryo technology just isn't at that level. There is no way to perfectly preserve through cryo without killing the brain. Her personality and everything might be killed off as well, So even if she does revive it will be like staring from scratch.

[WaddleDee]

That's why she wants to stay frozen untill they do find a cure though.

Modern medicine is able to do so much nowadays, I doubt the full restoration of destroyed brain cells is out of reach in the future.

But why would people in this supposed future spend any money or time reviving some sick popsicle?

I take it that's some sort of promise from the "company" that iced her in the first place.

I'm pretty sure it'll start becoming even more common though. And thus they'll spend time and money on it.

When a human freezes their body, they die. Our bodies can't handle extreme temperatures like that. There is also no way to bring people back from the dead. Unless they plan to unfreeze the person while performing CPR on them.

Ofcourse, she died before freezing herself too.

The point is, nobody knows what the future holds and where the limit lies.

When you think about all the wonders medicine are already able to create then I don't think immortality or resurrection are far off.

I'm not saying either of those are possible, but concluding they are not untill proven otherwise is kinda shallow.

Cancer of the brain killed her did it not... sounds fairly dead to me. BTW she was already dead before they froze her. Technically though I know people who have come back from the dead (as there heart had stopped which medically means they where dead).

As for this, it is all really a bit of silliness, i'm glad she found comfort in it (presumably), but the notion of preserving life even further with the population issues we face simply does not make much sense.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I'd love to see the future

Anyone ever play Dead Space? Sounds a lot like the Unitologists.

[Auzzie Wingman]

I have a feeling that this is in vain. Call me not optimistic, but I think human society will reach levels of unsustainable stupid before we figure out how to do many of the things we expected we could by the year 2000, like hover cars.
