whoa182 Posted March 1, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2005 (edited) Now before you answere the questions lets think of the facts. buried you have a 0 % chance of revival Cremated, you have a 0% of revival Cryogenically frozen, There is a chance that you will be revived, its definitly the better option Now personally im paying for Cryonics because there is real evidence that you can preserve the brain well enough and we have already frozen a brain of a cat for seven hours and it began working again, thats just one example. A funeral can cost JUST AS MUCH as cryonics, but with a funeral there is no chance of coming back... So what have you got to lose? I mean if your dead.. Then you wont care anyway if it dont work and if it works then you have everything to gain. We could be only 20-30 years away from cryonics working, isnt it worth a try? There is plenty of evidence to support cryonics and the Technology that is being researched today will make it happen, such as Nanotechnology for repairing cells and Biotechnology and information technology ( implants ) Im really suprised there isnt that many people that are signing up, is it lack of public awareness? Belief in afterlife? Money? Edited March 2, 2005 by whoa182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenk Posted March 2, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I picked Cryonics! It would be a crime to denie future generations my Wisdom, Charisma, Intelligence, Humor and Good looks *gives a dazzling smile* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoa182 Posted March 2, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted March 2, 2005 If anyone would like Information on this you can go here http://www.alcor.org/ That is one of the TOP facilities and most expensive, There are others around the U.S that cost a hell of a lot less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoa182 Posted March 2, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Theres one problem that Ive just thought of with Cryonics, Suppose it did work... Would any of your known family use croynics. But then, Even if croynics works we are reversing damage so your family may have reached the point where age reversal is possible, I mean I would assume that would be the scenario if revival were achieved. But there is still a risk that all your family wont make it and dont choose cryonics. So thats looking at it from a different perspective, I guess..

AztecInca Posted March 2, 2005 #5 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Well I still have a long life to live hopefully and I`m not really thinking about what I want to happen to me when I die but since Im so young cyronics isn`t looking bad, having a chance to be brought back and to see the future would be amazing!

It will like before you were born, no existence, you will miss everything, no actually you wont even miss it. just oblivion lol It probably wont be that much trouble getting used to new life. I mean it depends if your interested in the future really... I am certainly interested in how the future is going to be with all these emerging technologies, the world would probably be almost unrecognizable and there is probably going to be a lot more stuff to do! Space travel is definitly number 1 on my list to do ! Edited March 2, 2005 by whoa182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we know once the brain is dead, we are daed Like I said, Imagin before you were born... It will be the exact same. Ever lost Consciousness? I have and it was utterly nothing, If I didnt wake up I wouldnt of cared at the time and I didnt even prepare to shut off, it happened without even knowing it was going to happen, Could be simular to dying I dont plan on dying for a few thousand years or longer so no..

pallidin Posted March 3, 2005 #15 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I'm all for cryogenics(or whatever its called). As a techie and philosopher at heart, I would look forward to being revived 500 years in the future. That's just me, and I know it's not for everyone.

absinthegreen329 Posted March 4, 2005 #18 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I put cremation, but now that I think about it, I think cryogenics might be the way to go. I am just dying, no pun intended, to find out what happens in the future. If nothing happens and the world ends before they can wake me up, then I wouldn't even know, so it wouldn't make a difference. I didn't even think about space travel, I would really love to see where we go with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoa182 Posted March 5, 2005 Author #19 Share Posted March 5, 2005 (edited) Well I think theres nothing to lose as it costs around the same as a funeral anyway... You have more chance with cryonics. http://www.cryonics.org/reports/Dog_Thor.html Vitrification Protocol used on Dog by Ben Best On Thursday, February 10 the Cryonics Institute perfused the dog of one of our Members, Kevin Boyle. This was the second time we perfused the dog of one of our Members with Dr. Yuri Pichugin's Vitrification Mixture (VM). Kevin had been ruefully watching the declining health of his beloved dog Thor and had come to the difficult decision to euthanize so as to optimize the conditions of cryopreservation. Thor had a pitiful limp due to worsening degenerative myelopathy in his hind legs. The once powerful dog was down to two-thirds his original weight. As Kevin monitored Thor's condition he struggled to decide when would be the best time to euthanize. Kevin didn't want to lose his companion too soon, but neither did he want to risk an untimely death which would reduce the chance for good cryopreservation. When Thor's deterioration became unquestionable, Kevin finally bit the bullet. Thor, Kevin and Kevin's girlfriend Cheryl loaded into Kevin's van and drove to Michigan from Massachusetts. At 9 am that fateful Thursday morning I was met at the door of the CI Facility by a very sad-looking Kevin. Kevin and Cheryl spent their last hour together with Thor at CI. Cheryl too was obviously upset about Thor's condition and the prospect of euthanasia . You can read the rest at that link sad story Edited March 5, 2005 by whoa182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicTJ Posted March 5, 2005 #20 Share Posted March 5, 2005 (edited) Let's see here.......... The world as it is.....is already overpopulated. So the solution to this problem is to freeze yourself until a time when technological advance allows you to be brought back to life. At the given rate of technological advance, and the trend in increase of population....... DO THE MATH Edited March 5, 2005 by MedicTJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoa182 Posted March 5, 2005 Author #21 Share Posted March 5, 2005 As a country gets more developed the population actually levels off and stops rapidly increasing in its population. infact Europe population is declining, while 3rd world are going up... Also earth isnt already over populated and we still have The UNIVERSE to populate. There is plenty of space, I promise If humans want to survive, we have to keep on populating and spreading out from the planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicTJ Posted March 5, 2005 #22 Share Posted March 5, 2005 As a country gets more developed the population actually levels off and stops rapidly increasing in its population. 511771[/snapback] Sorry, but I don't buy that in the least bit. It is a well documented fact that throughout the history of this planet, the species on the top of the food chain routinely becomes so overpopulated that either they run themselves out of resources, or they are annihalated by some cataclysmic event. Either way, they experience a drop in population that way, or extinction altogether. I'm not talking about countries. I'm talking about people. Care to take a look at the level of this world's population increase over the past 1,000 years? I'll bet you'll be surprised at the incremental increase over the past 50 years alone.

MedicTJ Posted March 5, 2005 #24 Share Posted March 5, 2005 You're a teenager. Thinking about death should be the last thing on your mind anyway even if you were 150 years old. Live life. Spending life worrying about its end is only wasting itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoa182 Posted March 5, 2005 Author #25 Share Posted March 5, 2005 there you go It doesnt matter if you are a teenager, life can end at any time. But if everyone in the world thought, Well I dont have to fix all this aging and diseases until im around 80, We will get nowhere like that.
