Yes, because I'm that much of a geek that it's an appealing idea to me. To be able to sleep for that long and then wake up to a new world.

Only if I could take a couple people with me, then I'd definately go. Nothing too special for me here.

Yes

Refusing this most generous offer because you think that you couldn't leave your current life behind is a typical sign of Human weakness.

I would if I had a disease that would end up killing me early in life. If there is a chance to cure it in the future, so that I could live a longer and healthy life, then I might consider it, but only if I could be certain that Napalm would be there with me.

Read The Door Into Summer by Heinlein. It covers the idea quite nicely for a novel.

If I was given the opportunity RIGHT NOW, yes I would do it...but I imagine in the future after I'm out of college or maybe even settled down, my answer would be a lot different! I just don't have any roots or major things that I don't mind giving up...well, there's my family...but that's quite an opportunity when you think about it.

So it seems it would make a difference to a lot of people's answers if they could take someone along with them?

No everyone you love/know would be gone it would be sad. Plenty of movies reflect on this theory and show how bad it would be to wake up in a new world. I would go crazy!
