The picture used to represent cryogenics on a religious website. |
As I have said before in many blogs there are many moral, religious and ethical issues about cryogenics. Some people are against cryogenics for many reasons; a few of them are that you are getting cryopreserved while there are thousands of malnourished children across the world. So basically what this is saying is that you are spending tens of thousands of dollars to be frozen so that you can live longer while the children that are starving, have no money and will live shorter lives. See the problem? What about the overpopulation? The world is overpopulating every minute and that is with the 1-2 million abortions that are carried out throughout the US alone every year. If we are overpopulating as we know it is there really room for more people? More the less, frozen, lifeless people?
One example of a religious question you might hear about cryogenics could be, “Where does the soul go when you are cryopreserved?” Or, “Why would you want to live longer than god intended you to?” These are a few of the many unanswered questions about cryogenics. People that claim to believe in god this strongly are somewhat hypocritical, in my opinion, for asking such questions. In chapter 5 of the biblical book Genesis, it names six biblical figures who lived over 900 years, far longer than anyone should expect to live by being cryopreserved. A few of the biblical figures mentioned were: Adam (950 years), and Methuselah (969 years).
Now that you know, and slightly understand the moral, religious, and ethical problems people have with cryogenics, do you agree or disagree? What are your personal problems with cryogenics? Tell me in the comment box i'd love to know!
As with anything, you can't let the abusers of ethics out there dictate the rules that could benefit the highly moral. One day, this will probably be a perfected science/mode of treatment, and it will be all because of the good scientists and doctors who prevailed and went against the mainstream. As a Christian and believer of God as the creator of us as free-thinking human beings, I believe in the power of medicine and the abilities of professionals to help reduce suffering and helping out mankind.
ReplyDeleteIf a person wants to do this, he or she should be able to. No one person or government should dictate to anyone how to live his or her life.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a personal choice -- all arguments stand in a way -- also I have been told that in the Bible the years were counted differently so it cld have just been 70 - 80 years -- however this is also a theory -- well long ago no one spoke about a by pass surgery -- could cryogenic become then like some state of the art kind of surgery many years from now
