Re: Cryonics - anyone considered it?

It's a firm no from me as well. They can preserve and utilise any of the bits from me which might be useful to someone else when I am dead, but the thought of the person that is actually me being preserved so that I may be able to return later in time would fill me with dread. I don't think my spirit/soul/essence (or whatever anyone wants to call it) could be preserved anyway and to me the idea is the ultimate in human selfishness and vanity. When my time is up I am quite content and accept wherever I might or might not be going. I leave my children and their children to stay behind and like me they started off in the world from "brand new". That's the only way I think it should be - each individual should start off from new and live in the special period that is their time.

What! drag me out of heaven and shove me back into this dump to go through it all again with folks I don't even know, not on your Nellie.
Mags you make it a condition that you get a new back and a warm pair of feet before you sign up.

That's one of the appealing things about it - that if the technology and science has reached to such a stage to reanimate people, that ageing will also be mastered and you'll be able to have a youthful, healthy body. No more back pain Mags!

Imagine going a step further and not just unravelling genetics to fix ailments, but enhance too - anyone want 100 times the memory capacity they have now?

Wonder what amazing things will be uncovered in time...

Me personally, if I could afford it, I'd seriously consider it.
