    The thing with this is – there is no recorded case ever in history of some one being brought back after being cryonically frozen. So why spend on some thing un-tested or un-proven ? Some people have more money than sense simples.

    Living for a long period of time isn’t worth it if your love ones are left behind and even if they can live longer with you, will that really add value to your life and to your love ones? I mean you could live longer but for your experience, not a single year has added up.

    There’s no reason to believe the shrinkage and damage causes so much of a change that computers wouldn’t be able to figure out what the initial state of everything in the brain was.

    I watched passengers movie twice.

    Hypersleep in real life!

    You better have a few gold bars saved because your current wealth will be absolutely worthless.

    To me I only have one life , it is now while I live to make the right decisions …and the true choice is life through Jesus ,even through death with him you will live

    The ability to back up your brain to ‘live on’ via some sort of operating system is more realistic surely?

    • Claire Reilly

      July 10, 2020 at 7:18 pm

      I found that part really interesting – this is all part of a spectrum that includes ideas like mind uploading and simulations. I’m still working on the “million Claires” thing though 😉

    The culture shock suffered by the resuscitated will drive them to madness. Just like in that Twilight Zone episode.

    • CNET

      July 10, 2020 at 12:17 am

      Would be a good episode!

    As a man of science and as a man of religious faith all I gotta say is that even if cryonic preservation doesn’t work at least your dead body is still helping science and helping further our knowledge of the human body advance in some way so that’s gotta count for something.

    I dont think its unethical, but thousands of years off sounds about right. Then again look at what the human genome project accomplished or where we were 200 years ago with medicine.

    Once you are frozen you die if it’s been to many hours or day’s no one can be brought back from the dead.

  32. Marquise Thomas

    July 10, 2020 at 7:01 am

    I would do this but at the same time if the world gets destroyed while I’m frozen I literally can’t get mad

  33. Abdul Soleh

    July 10, 2020 at 7:10 am

    Some Egyptian thousands years ago had this idea before. Too bad their experiment is failed..

    I will live forever but these frozen people will defenetly not.

    if you can afford it, why not, you either stay dead or wake up in the future? if you dont like it, just refreeze or die for good, up to you.

    Sad to see this is even still a thing. The (one of many) fundamental flaws is what damage deep freezing does to cells/tissues at the base level. Think of it as microscopic razor blades. Now multiply that type of damage to almost every cell in the body.

  39. L. MorningStar

    July 10, 2020 at 4:00 pm

    It’s a scam there won’t be anything after _2020_
