For those that believe after death the soul leaves the body. What happens if Cryonics works? Will the soul be sucked back into the brain/body ?

You: “I’m going to keep holding out for Aubrey de Grey and the SENS Foundation to keep me from dying in the first place.”

Me: Last time I checked, Aubrey won’t be able to help out with gunshot wounds. Perhaps this is why Aubrey supports cryonics, too

I read short stories and novels by Allen Steele. He wrote realistic stories and hard edge. “Working for Mr. Chicago” (1995) is a terrific short story with the “frozen head.”

AFTER ALL, AS EACH PERSON IS ENTITLED TO HIS OR HER OWN WANTS,WHO ARE WE TO TO CONDEMN,DESPITE THIS GENERATION OR THE NEXT IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
WHO KNOWS MAYBE BY RELIVING THE FUTURE HE MAY BE ABLE TO TEACH A THING OR TWO.
AFTER ALL I WOULD LOVE TO MEET MY FAMILY MEMBER 7 GENERATIONS BEFORE AND LEARN EVERYTHING THERE WAS TO LEARN ,AND MAYBE AFTER REINCARNATED SOME OF US MAY BE ABLE TO MEET HIM IN A NEW DIMENSION WHETHER EARTH OR ABOVE.HAVE AN OPEN MIND YOU GUYS, ITS HOW WE LEARN.AS FOR THE WIFE,IF THERE IS TRUE
UNDERSTANDING THERE WILL BE A COMPROMISE BUT AFTER YEARS OF MARRIAGE 90%
WOULD BE CONVENIENCE.

I’ve noticed that people expect, and demand, a technological solution to the Deepwater Horizon emergency in the Gulf. We wouldn’t respect anyone who dismisses the efforts to find this solution as “ego-tripping,” “denial,” “poorly informed techno-utopian speculation” and other terms I’ve heard applied to cryonics.

Yet each of us has an analogous emergency going on in our bodies which will kill us.

I don’t see a distinction between the urgency of finding Deepwater Horizon solutions and the urgency of finding solutions to the kinds of problems cryonics tries to deal with. Both sets of solutions will make the world a better place.

consider also the perspective of the future potential defrosters. why would they want to bring someone back from the past?

This comment is often made by those who do not understand the nature of people and organizations involved in cryonics.

We don’t expect “others” to bring us back. Cryonics organizations are membership based, with new members signing up on a continual basis. There is no reason to assume this will change in the future. It will be the future members of those organizations that will take “off the shelf” bionanotechnology in, say 2150, and use it to bring back those already in suspension. IN other words, it will be our own people, those with beliefs and attitudes like our own that will bring us back.

Isn’t cryonics an attempt to cheat death by, um, cheating? Which also leads to major credibility problems?

1). They won’t freeze you until you’re already dead. The concern being, once you’re frozen, you’re not only “frozen dead”, you’re probably “dead-dead”. In other words the freezing process is likely to kill you in a way that’s irreversible (massive, pervasive cellular damage due to ice crystals);

2). In the improbable eventuality that technology will allow reanimation in the future, who will care enough about you to revive you? Grave robbing is far more likely than a benevolent and deep pocketed rescuer!

Star Trek TNG had a great episode on the likely outcome of a successful cryogenics reanimation. Most of the revived were shocked, ill-prepared, and out of place in the future. Everyone they ever knew was dead. The world had moved on and they hadn’t. Even their education was centuries out of date. And that was likely a best-case scenario…

It seems to me that the fight is over money, not Cryonics. I think that I would have a better chance if they chopped me up into a few thousand pieces, put me into small glass vials encased in tree sap via Jurassic Park and blasted off into space.

consider also the perspective of the future potential defrosters. why would they want to bring someone back from the past? you’d have to be pretty awesome, and not just a rich, inconsiderate jerk, for future generations with advanced technologies to want you around.
