What do you think about cryonics?

I think it is a scam

I concede I don't know enough about it to render an effective opinion but my gut tells me it's a scam. The theory is that at some distant future time your frozen body could be thawed out and revived. The problem with that is two fold, first you would have to freeze the person while they are still alive or at the very least immediately after death. Typically in a hospital setting they keep trying to revive you over an extended period at which point it is probably too late to successfully freeze someone to the point needed for later revival. The second problem is that when human tissue is frozen the cell walls break down. To counter that one would have to consume a magic solution that would strengthen those walls and I don't believe they have invented such.

If this is something that one day could be achieved then I think I would go for it. I would not mind waking up in a hundred or five hundred or five thousand years to see what's become of humanity.

it is a scam. Cells are made up of mostly water and when you freeze water it expands. When it expands it ruptures the cell. That is what frostbite is. There is no coming back from that.

waste of money.

Death comes for us all and you get no choice of when it comes (except suicide). For some of us, it will be tomorrow. Others, a decade from now. Who knows? Live every day like it's your last.

I think it's a waste of money on the part of the clients.
I think it's a hell of a lucrative way to make money on the part of the service providers.
More power to them.

Doesn't seem to be sustainable. I mean I read a story where the froze an embryo for 16 years. And it gre into a healthy baby and a that. But every other story I've heard it failed when they tried to thaw the person out.

I mean, it's better chance than a coffin no? Or at least a 'cool' resting place hehe.

[nawtee_me]

what was the last thing that we can now cure that we couldn't before? Are we now able to unthaw someone and wake them from the dead? Nice theory but still not practical...

Stasis and launching yourself into space at lightspeed would be a better option

[red_knight]

Good for food storage and preserving organs but not able to preserve human life for extended periods. Maybe medical usage for 3rd degree burn victims but it's not meant to extend human life as they say.. youd basically die in the freezer

[DaveToo]

I most certainly don't wish to sit in a freezer at my age. Think of my arthritis!

[NightOwl8801]

I'd say it'll pay off the next hundred years or so , modern science just isn't there yet with most cryogenic technology

[Anonymous]

The science isn't there yet, so yeah, it's a scam.

Huge waste of money.
