Hi everyone

I'm new to this forum and can I say how informative it is too.

I have a question, When I die which hopefully will not be anytime soon I am hoping to be cryogenically frozen, in the hope that one day I will be re awoken if technology becomes advanced enough to do so.

The question which I have been hoping you intellectuals might be able to share some thoughts with is this, when I die do you think there is a deeper consiousness which my body will lose therefore meaning I can never be re awoken. Or do you think consciousness is purely a manifestation of the brain therefore if technology allows, it is possible to wake me up again.

I know this is partly a philisophical/religious question and apologise if I have posted in the wrong part of the forum but I have been thinking about this for a while without any success. By the way I am totally open minded and willing to accept any viewpoint or theory. Thanx in advance

If they have the technology to awaken you, chances are you'd be so 'obsolete' you'd wish you were dead.

when your brain dies thats all folks NOBODY has ever been brought back after being brain dead, if you think you can be frozen after you die and maybe 20 30 or even 60 years later be thawed out and they start your heart back going you will wake up and whats the date its not going to happen, sure they may get your heart going but your brain will not function leaving you a veg laying there with some quake doctor say I got his heart going again at least. But also consider this even organs can not be frozen and used after a certain amount of time, a human heart has to be transplated within hours or it will no longer function, so my best advise live the life you want and be happy your not going to get a second chance.

Are you sure that the company that you pay to freeze you will still be in business hundreds of years later? How many businesses stay open that long? :D

They'd just unplug you right along with the computers and the coffee maker.

How should we start, elmopalooza?
