Let's say you were offered the chance to have a plan to be cryogenically frozen at the point of your death. Whether you die tomorrow or in 75 years you will be taken to one of those institutes where they keep people frozen, with the hope that you might be revived one day, perhaps in decades or even centuries. Would you accept such an offer?
Why? Or why not?
And what do you think will happen to the thousands of people who are currently frozen?

Did you know that nowadays they have cryogenic systems that use NO power whatsoever? They just add a bit more liquid nitrogen once in a while. The bodies would take years to thaw out even if completely unattended.
But personally, I would never do this. I don't need to. I already know that I will live forever.

no
Jesus has a new body for me.

Here is the problem with cryogenics used for preservation: the means for such preservation would have to initiated at the instant of death. One could not be transferred to some distant location to be frozen for the reason that brain death occurs within about three minutes of the brain's losing its blood and oxygen supplies. When the brain is destroyed, there is absolutely no possibility of resurrecting the person other than via a miracle! I would therefore not opt for the procedure. Those family members of Ted Williams who have his head preserved somewhere are simply deluding themselves, and even assuming that his head could eventually be returned to some semblance of life, he would be a quadriplegic in the unlikely event that a body could be provided him! The science is just too primitive and probably still will be in seventy-five years to be feasible.

No... I dont like the idea of living forever (it helps beliving in an afterlife). I kinda think of how weird it would be to travle back in time and be stuck there. The feeling of being so alien in such a different world with no one you knew and every thing strange and odd. I think it would be a cold (no pun intended) horrible way to live.

No, cryonics has never been successfully tested. I don't think there actually ARE thousands of frozen people - most people didn't fall for it when the tests came out looking like a pulped strawberry. Because that's what happens - water expands, breaks the cell membrane, and you get all juicy.

What's the sense ? Our spirit lives on after we die and goes to heaven or hell for eternity and freezing the body isn't going to hold up God's plan at all .......
Everybody is going to die and leave here, I don't care , what they try to defy that, those that are frozen , are going to be dead and frozen , and then , when they are thawed , they are going to be thawed and dead.

I could never afford that, but if someone else is footing the bill, why not?
Some of the people who are currently frozen, were liquefied earlier this year when there was a power outage. I saw it on CNN.

No, cause unless I die when I'm still young, I don't want to be revived at say 90yrs old and live seniority all over again.

Yes. It would please me to be part of a long-term experiment (or rather, the prospect would, while I was alive) -- and who knows? Perhaps revival would at some point be possible, and then there'd be a whole new world to explore!

Nope. I accept that death is as much a part of life as birth and I see no point in trying to avoid it. Burn me, and scatter my ashes in a wild mountain meadow.

it is relatively no longer real. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints teaches that persons can settle for the Gospel and be stored on an analogous time as quickly as they die in the event that they settle for it interior the Spirit international. yet very virtually anybody on earth, even non-believers and undesirable human beings, will inherit between the three Kingdoms of Glory. Heavenly Father would not deliver his babies to everlasting torture.

No, when I die I want to stay dead.
They will never thaw them out.
