What would the Christian Church say about Cryonics?

From a religious point of view, you can look at it as a medical treatment, or an alternative method of burial. Since they wait until after you are "dead" to preserve your body, it can't be called suicide.
I've always been taught that believers will be pulled from their graves and reconstituted in flesh at the rapture. Nothing in Cryonics should prevent that. If anything, it makes it easier for God to put you back together.

Cryonics (often mistakenly called "cryogenics") is the practice of cryopreserving humans or animals that can no longer be sustained by contemporary medicine until resuscitation may be possible in the future. The largest current practitioners are two member-owned, non-profit organizations, the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona, with 74 cryopreserved patients and the Cryonics Institute in Clinton Township, Michigan with 75.
The Old Testament is a history book and the two commandments in the New Testament is how we should live our lives today. There's no mention of cryonics, so you can do as you please.

I am prertty sure they will say it's an abomination. A sin. Against God. Well, I think it's cool (no pun intended) if that's what you'd like for your future. Personally, for me to do that, I would have to have one helluva body.
Hey, man, whatever floats your boat.
