Just as it says: who would get themselves at death with a cryogenics company to theoretically be brought back later?

(Not that far fetched considering we can transplant faces, hearts, lungs, intestines, hands, etc. Kids have been brought back after being dead for 45 minutes in ice water. Hell they can regrow a bladder now using stem cells)

Why or why not?

I would, in the remote chance that I could be unfrozen and revived Its worth the chance.

No. With the rate things are going to shit, imagine the mess you'd wake up to after being out of the loop for 20 years.

Bastards this isn't about Bin Laden. I would have said "Do you want your still warm body kicked with a combat boot off a helicopter and into the ocean" if I was hinting that this was another Bin Laden thread.

I think by the time they get around to being able to revive someone from the dead things will have calmed down in the world.

First: oil will be gone and they would have moved on to a alternate energy source: hay, and everyone will be riding freaking horses again.

Second: the new republic of China in what once was the western half of the USA, the annex of Canada, former northern states, and the new world power Brazil will own the southern half of the former USA. So things should be better.

So when you do get revived you can say "I knew those bastard USA politicians would run America into the ground and right into history."

Why or why not would you get frozen?

Once proven, everyone would freeze themselves for better times... unfortunately, no one's left to thaw them out properly.

Hell fucking no, I wouldn't freeze myself if I were to wake up to that.

We're getting pretty close to being able to grow most organs in a lab so in terms of replacing the bad parts its not far off. Its the brain damage and repairing what it's learned that would be the real question. I think you'd have to wait till we have the ability to download the mind separate from the physical being to keep it safe.

Do0d, whoever posted that was joking, and not at your expense.

Your response is overheated. You need to chill out.

The next time your lack of humor causes you to crack like thin ice, just stop right there and freeze in your tracks, regroup, and then try melting your adversary with humor. Good Humor. It's in the freezer section of your supermarket.

Then you'll be the eternally cool guy you've always wanted to be, and not some humorless stiff.

If you can manage to keep a cool head in these situations, people will say you have ice in your veins. :)

Seriously, the internet wasn't even really used by the average person 20 years ago and now we practically live on it. I'm sure it will be embedded in everyone and hooked to our retinas and controlled by brain waves.

My wife has strict instructions on what to do after I die. If we are bajillionaires, I am to be cryogenically frozen and shot into space. If we are not bajillionaires, I get cremated.

I want to get frozen so I can see the future. I hope to run into my future genius nephew, a hot one-eyed chick, a crab-man, and a metal bending robot.

A little cheesy, but excellent effort, decent result. I wish more posts had some wit in them.
