Cryonics - anyone considered it?

Cryonics may look like science fiction but cryonicists believe that at some point in the future it will be possible to bring back people from the dead.

When they die, participants in the project will be transported to the United States where they will be kept in cold storage.

It is a huge gamble because cryogenics is still medically unproven, and it could be up to a century before it is known if the process is successful.

If you think about how life has changed since you knew it, would you want to?

Re: Cryonics - anyone considered it?

I can't think of much worse than being brought back from the dead in years to come to find the world greatly changed, and me being totally out of synch with whatever's going on around me, unable to grasp technology (no change there then), customs, maybe even speech patterns and the hundred and one other developments that went on without me. A terrifying and disturbing scenario for me.
