Hi

It is not for me.

On a scientific basis we have sorted out what happens to a body on death, but not to what happens to a mind.

Preserving a body is easy, we have no idea on how to preserve a mind.

I do want to wake up to find we still have the Taliban, ISIS, Trump, Corbyn etc waking up alongside me unchanged.

I am hoping that humanity progresses and that the world becomes a better place.

Scientifically we all come back anyway. just not in the same form.

Our bodies decay into their constituent atoms and elements, which are then available to be used again, they do not disappear.

Death as far as the body is concerned is just like a recycling centre, we may go in as a car and come out as a tin of baked beans.

It is different with the mind, we have no idea what happens to it.

I will do Azz the same consideration as he gave me and start a new thread soon on the the big question, is there life after death.

There are much bigger brains than I have on this site and I would love to know what they think.

Can you imagine coming back and all the people you love have died every single one…dead.

Why would you do that? It would be like a nightmare.

I might consider it if a group of us did it together and we were all thawed out together along with a few bottles of champagne :slight_smile:

As a believer in Christ, no definitely not!!..

What if you died at a very old age, what would you come back to?

It would scare the life out of me because it’s not a natural process, it’s science messing with a human life after death…they are wonderful at keeping people alive for much longer whilst we’re alive…
I can’t imagine how they would freeze a Spirit of a person after death when imo it leaves the body.,each to their own though, I can only answer this question from my own perspective.
No way would I trust a human, imo it’s all about the money, one guy I read has been frozen some time back…he’s still frozen apparently…

IMHO it’s a scam.

How will you ever know if it’s worked? Once you’ve handed over all your money whats to say that you will be brought back?

I’d rather leave my money to the kids to make their lives easier.

I’d have had my life. :slightly_smiling_face:

If I wanted to be frozen, I’d go back to live in Yorkshire!

Sorry, but no. I wouldn’t want to be at the mercy of whoever is responsible for bringing me back to life. There could be no guarantee that our frozen bodies wouldn’t fall into the wrong hands, through war or terrorism. We could be brought back to life to be used for whatever purposes our captors may have for us. So no, I’m not going to take that chance :scream:

Not that I’ve got a spare £100k anyway :rofl:

@AZZ , Miniaturisation of what ?
Of humans?? :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:
What’s the point of that?
The best thing for the planet would be where all humans only had a “virtual”
existence !!
Even more intriguing, are we allready living a “virtual existence” ??

Definitely not. There’s no sign that population growth can ever be controlled so as the planet fills up and runs out of resources with it’s inevitable consequences I doubt there will be any point in going round again. :man_shrugging:t2:

So very true @Tezza , there are far too many of us now and barely enough resources, and with the expected exponential growth of world population it really is a bleak outlook for future generations. We really are the worst kind of parasite…

Definitely not, the world today is horrible and getting worse by the day. I think the future is bleak.

Now if you said would you do cryonics and could reverse time I would say definitely yes, the days gone by were far happier and I’m not looking through rose tinted glasses, they truly were better days for me personally. The past 10 years has gone bonker, I dread to think what the future holds.

China is offering it as well now:

Considering China is set to become the world’s biggest economy by 2028, and given their technological and military advances of late, they could well be a good, safe, choice…
