Teenager who died of cancer has her wish to be cryogenically frozen granted by court

[agello24]

I think they should have gotten her before she died.

What a bunch of *****s is all I can say about it. The only one coming out ahead on this deal is the company doing the freezing. I hear Hillary will be frozen in death and woken up when the world ends. That way when she wakes up, she can't **** up anything.

That way when she wakes up, she can't **** up anything.

That way when she wakes up, she can say "this would have happened much sooner, if only they made me president".

Just delays the inevitable.

I bet she "dies" a second time on "accident" way before she gets "awaken".

Power goes out all the time, I don't care how many backup systems you have. Good luck when World War 3 breaks out. Hope you are "awaken" before then.

Hell 50 grand is nothing. More like 50 grand a year. Why keep their end of the bargain once you and all your family are dead? Who's going to be there keeping track of your body then?

Why bother? You already got paided after all. No on left alive to ensure the company keeps their end up.

You can't freeze cryogenically a lit candle, then unfreeze it with the same fire still burning. Same thing with life. It is a permanent combustion inside the cells that can't be stopped without causing death.

I think hibernation would have more potential of achieving a similar goal, but not for more than a few decades.

My guess is that cryogenically frozen bodies will only be of any interest for some anthropologist of the future wanting to study the body of someone from past centuries. Perhaps medical research will benefit too. No doubt this would be a great genetic bank of past diseases.

As we learned from Star Trek TNG, cryogenics was a fad.

We don't cease to exist after death. I think a lot of it has to do with that fear of the unknown factor.

when you blow out a candle, where does the flame go?

A flame is a chemical reaction between whatever's burning and oxygen. When a candle goes out the wick just stops turning into light, heat and smoke. It's like saying, when a car stops - where does the motion go.

(Yes I know you were being sarcastic, but maybe I helped someone learn something today. )

Personally, I accept death as a part of life. We don't cease to exist after death. I think a lot of it has to do with that fear of the unknown factor.

Do you remember what it was like before when you were born? No? Well, that's just what it's going to be like when you die. Scary? Maybe for some.

I always think about that theory but I believe the afterlife is a brain dream created in the last nano second of life, in dreams there is no time so technically if you never wake up your last dream will last forever

My thoughts. I once had a dream. I was dying and my last moment of life stretched to infinity. That was a pretty strange dream, but after googled it, I found out it's quite possible.

How can you even experience that? Or even begin to describe what experiencing infinity, in any way, would be like. Interesting though... you wouldn't be able to make sense out of anything, anything you see or even yourself in your own existence.

Well my dream was like this. I often have strange dreams. It was one of those. Anyway in that moment I knew what infinity is. I was coughing with blood and that last moment stretched to infinity...

 

[cliffordcooley]

Yeah we often dream things that are unlikely and discredit those that are likely.

The DNA of the apes is close to 99% human. So I guess they deserve after life too, and bad apes should go to apes hell. Too bad they can't pay to be cryogenically frozen.

No, it simply means that humans should be removed from the genus "Homo", and placed into the genus "Pan", with the other two species of chimpanzee. It has absolutely nothing to do with religion.

"The afterlife", is a human contrivance, born from a completely overblown ego, which causes every human, to genuinely believe that neither they themselves, or the rest of the world, could possibly exist without them. For thousands of years we have believed in "existentialism", and tried to pass it off as "religion". Now maybe if Jean Paul Sartre had bee crucified, existentialism might have gained more traction.

Here, this is sort of similar: https://www.techspot.com/news/62932...r-people-consciousness-artificial-bodies.html But yet, probably just a con.

No, Patrick Stewart was not supposed to have been revived from cryo. His acting was a bit stiff, that's all..

That just mean he was destined to be Borg is all.
