What Browser do you use? Chrome Favourite Manga Berserk, JJBA	So I went on quiet the Youtube journey last night, til about 4 am. went from a Tsunami documentary to how deep the ocean really is. Eventually though I ended up on a video about Cryonics. which got me looking into it more and more. ive seen cryogenically frozen people in t.v and film before (Fry from futurama, Faye from Bebop) but never actually thought about if people were really doing this in real life, which they are. and have been for a LONG time. http://mentalfloss.com/article/20849/quick-8-eight-people-who-have-been-cryonically-preserved-and-one-who-wasnt this is only a list of 8. there is many more. so basically my question is, what do you think about it? if you had the money would you do it ? or would you take the normal route and be put under the ground. also. what would you do in this case below ? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/18/cancer-girl-14-is-cryogenically-frozen-after-telling-judge-she-w/

I guess we might make the technology to bring them back some day but I think it's far more likely that we'll be able to cure cancers and whatnot of people frozen in such a way that they'll be thawed out alive. Wonder why we won't freeze living people? It'd be very useful to be able to do it, Futurama style. I don't think that should be illegal if someone is say, absolutely going to die in 3 months and they agree to it...what do they have to lose? Freezing someone who's already dead sounds almost pointless, reanimating the dead seems almost impossibly difficult. Of all the many horrific experiments on that front I don't think many have had much success even with small animals. Don't you lose almost all brain function if you're dead for 10 minutes or so? It seems a bigger "maybe" than finding a way to successfully freeze and thaw out living individuals. I'd definitely do it if I had the money, 80 years or so is a pathetic amount of time to live for me. Being around to explore the universe is much more appealing to me than just travelling a planet we've examined basically every inch of besides the ocean.

Apparently a fair few people have had their bodies frozen in the hope there is a cure for death in the near future. I think the main issue is nobody has been fully reanimated yet (from being frozen), as it causes issues in the spaces between your bodies cells, potentially causing death. And of course nobody has cured death yet..so thats a big one as well.

Like maybe scientists will figure it out...but all these frozen people probably aren't frozen in the right way and would only come out as mush. I don't think we've developed any ways to flash freeze things to reduce the formation of ice crystals, that's still in the realm of sci-fi for anything but freezing relatively small amounts of food IIRC and that of course is for food not things intended to be reanimated. There's bound to be plenty people who are going to die anyway who are up for even the slightest chance of being cured later. We should probably be testing this as it would be fantastic for space travel and might be necessary for our survival in some years. If we end up opting to go to Titan in the event of the Earth's destruction it'd be a huge resource saver as nobody needs to eat while frozen. So long as people aren't being manipulated in to being tested on I see no reason why not, noble sacrifice for something that might just save the species and it might save their lives on top of that.

Course it's just the brain but if we invent a way to put a human brain in a robot body I wonder if they'd still be "all there" after the procedure? Freezing just a brain certainly seems more doable. If we could find a way to clone our bodies and just put our brains back in that'd be magnificent, you wouldn't have to go crazy at being a floating brain in a tank controlling a metal person Hopefully the first brain in a robot body doesn't create a super villain, that would be quite the set back.
