Cryogenics (Frozen for the future)

Results | Messages | Flag
Cryogenics is the idea that when a person dies, his body can be quick-frozen, in the hopes that some future civilization will be able to restore life and the person can continue to live.
Do you think you'd like to be brought back to life in the future in this way?
Absolutely not.
Probably not.
Yes, maybe.
Yes, for sure.
How would it be if you are brought back, and everyone's intellectual capacity has grown significantly, and now you are the village idiot?
OK.
Not OK.
Suppose in the future, they can make you live for 1,000 years, and they need slaves to labor 12 hours a day under near-starvation conditions. Guess what? You're a slave.
OK.
Not OK.
Your body accidentally thaws, and you wake up in a future world in which everyone is essentially a cave-man. They don't know anything about fire, metallurgy, water treatment, agriculture. Couldl you help.
Sure---give me two sticks.
I don't know much about those things, either.
It would be more important to teach them my Religion.
Do you still want to be cryogenically revitalized?
Sure--I can hardly wait.
Forget it.
