If they got you in the moment you died before the brain lost all its oxygen?Originally posted by chopper View PostThat's the thing - there is no evidence that crygenically stored bodies could be brought back to life even in optimal condition, i.e. if we froze a perfectly healthy human.
Never mind trying to restore someone who died, fact is they had an illness to which they died - there is no cure for death, so you would surely be better being frozen long before the cancer kills you.
Anyway there was a documentary about this kind of stuff. It's called Futurama.

Because they can. My worry would be that I was one of the early test subjects and they made a mess of reviving me. TBH I would be happy with a robot body with a laser.Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostWhy should society in a hundred years revive a corpsicle? What's the benefit?

This is how the human race will eventually colonise the nearest planets capable of supporting life.
Post the deep frozen bodies on a one way trip, in a craft programmed to enter orbit around the target planet, and by the time the craft arrives the earthlings will have mastered intergalactic space travel for artificial lifeforms (that can survive the trip a lot easier than humans), get there first and with all the know how to revive the 'corpses'.
That, or it's a great scam to fleece mugs of £37k with no intention of doing anything other than making frozen pet mince with the bodies once all living relatives have croaked it or also gone into the freezer.

You do not need to do this.
Simply sign up to oPM's Multiverse and Time Travel Emporium
For a small one off fee when you die someone from a different parallel universe will come and revive you from a one of the multiverses that has a cure for your ailment.

I can see a future episode of Storage Wars here.Originally posted by amanwhoisquiet View PostI like the 'infinite' amount of time for £37k. I'd buy shares in the co that's that confident in its future.
