Kirsten, these are great sources. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would like to come back as a necklace, please!
ReplyDeleteI for one think it is just a matter of time before we figure out how to do this. If a frog can freeze solid and then come back to life, that certainly proves it is possible. This type of research could also be beneficial for other areas such as space travel.
ReplyDeleteI am certainly for everyone being able to make their own decision on this. I don't think the government should prevent you from doing this, if it is what you choose. But the government should not fund your choice with public funds.
As for me, I don't think I would choose it. I don't want to be revived 20 years later to find everyone I know is dead and that I don't have the skills to a productive citizen anymore.
It seems like almost anyone who got a presently uncurable ailment would want to do this in the hopes of receiving a future 'cure'. But then again sooner or later doesn't everyone get an uncurable ailment?
