Parents cryonically freeze three year old child who dies of cancer
This nearly had me in tears...Her parents say they are "100% convinced" future medical advances mean she will one day be restored to life.

I see it no different to any other kind of medical intervention - are you against all medical procedures?

Re: Parents cryonically freeze three year old child who dies of cancer
I've mixed views on this....Playing God happened the very first time someone was resuscitated after suffering a heart attack.
Medical advances are getting more amazing by the day. One day there might well be a cure for this little girl.
On the other hand .. yes, it might prevent her parents grieving. .. or might help them with their loss?
My reservations would be more to do with practicalities, like ...
when she's restored to life will her parents be long dead? How much does all this cost?
Personally, for me, I'd rather just go at my allotted time.

I suppose it does beg the question .... when are you dead?Religion has it's own defined boundary ... I guess it's inevitable science can create another.
I wonder if the little girl is registered as legally dead.

No im not against all medical procedures but when someone has died theyre dead not for re animating at a later date but thats just my opinion its the stuff of nightmares!!
