Freezing causes ice crystalls that break through cells and destroy them. Freezing transplant organs requires special cryo-protectant chemicals like glycerine, to protect the cells of that organ. Many large organs still cannot be frozen for later tansplantation. People are researching various animals and plants that resist freezing damage. They have extracted a tripeptide (small protein), from arctic fish and a sugar trehalose that confers protection but more work has to be done before we can freeze a whole human body so that it can be thawed out and be intact.

1. I can't imagine we'll ever have the technology to literally bring dead people back to life.
2. Do we really need more people?
3. The cost of freezing and storing dead people would far exceed any potential benefit.
4. It's just plain creepy.

freezing a body causes more damage at a cellular level than I think would ever be able to be repaired. Not to mention... if they ever did figure it out why would they want a bunch of people from hundreds of years ago running around?

Isn't this world overpopulated enough? The last thing we need is to start bringing back dead people.

I wouldn't want to come back to life... besides....do you know how much that would cost? It wouldn't be within my price range that's for sure.

I don't think it can be done. Everybody dies. That's just a part of life.

You can do it if you want to. Most people don't want to.
