If someone offered to cryogenically freeze you for a thousand years, would you do it?

[hanoverphist]

no, id miss seeing my kids grow and succeed, miss friends and all that crap. if i were alone in this world, then sure it would be a cool adventure.

 

[drum]

hell yess I would. I'd probably be just in time for the Indians next World Series victory

 

[KeithTalent]

Sure, why not, I already have ice water flowing through my veins, so the process will not be that difficult on me.

I'm scared of what the future might be like, but also scared that I won't ever "wake up".

Be careful. Inactive Accounts are closed. Need to find an Institution that's willing to keep an Account Open. Probably would have to setup some special kind of Fund, Estate, or something.

Can you imagine walking up to the teller 1000 years from now and telling them you want to withdraw your money and they ask you for ID?

:Q

 

[sonambulo]

sure why the fuck not

 

[randay]

what if you die, are frozen, but you go to heaven, and then in 1000 years they unfreeze your ass and cure you and then you'll be like "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."?

 

[amdhunter]

Yes.

 

[yh125d]

Definitely yes if when I'm unfrozen...

The universe is in a general state of peace

There are no negative side effects

There is some form of reimbursement for the things left behind, aka, I'll have a modern house, clothes, be able to work somehow, etc... Basically I would be able to start a new life

The human species was still around and prevalent in the universe, and in the environment I would be unfrozen in

I'd do it if I were already old. I'd have already lived basically a lifetime, and who knows, I could wake up in 1,000 years and they may have developed something that reverses the aging process.

What if you woke up and the world was like Logan's Run, where everyone had to "ride the Carousel" on their 30th birthday? You'd wake up only to be killed by the Sandman...

People are already working on that. I wouldn't be surprised if humans life expectancy was 300 years or more in 1000 years.

Hell yeah - I'd do it in a heartbeat - it'd be freakin cool to wake up in 1000 years.
