From The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock.

Question #98: You know you will die of an incurable disease within three months. Would you allow yourself to be frozen within the week if you knew it would give you a modest chance of being revived in 1,000 years and living a greatly extended life?

No, I don't think I would. I would just live the next three months to the fullest. I would rather go to Heaven than take a small chance that I might live again 1000 years in the future where I know no one and the world is probably a bigger mess than it is today if it's even here at all.

I wouldn't do it. I don't want to wake up in 1,000 years and have no more husband, no more pets, no home, no one that I even know, no job, no knowledge of the technology or the way people are living, etc. I'd be like a caveman.

no because cryogenics is impossible. if it *was* possible, the answer is still no because all my friends would be dead and i'd be alone and still exactly who i am physically and mentally, and who knows if society still exists in 1,000 years. i'd rather spend 3 months with my friends than risk dying of starvation or exposure in a post-apocalyptic climate change doom world, lol.

No, I don't think I'd do it. The whole idea is just kind of creepy.

It's tempting because I don't want to die and I want to see the future advancements, but people I love would be dead so that puts a huge damper on the enjoyment I'd have.
So no.

"I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears."

I think once, the answer might have been yes, but now that I'm older... no. It's a lose lose situation: if it doesn't work, you've died even sooner than you would have before. If it does work, you wake up a thousand years later to find all of your loved ones are gone and you're alone. I'd rather spend my last 3 months with my friends and family.

May those who love us love us And those who don't love us May God turn their hearts, And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May He turn their ankles, So we'll know them by their limping.

No, because the world's about to end if things continue as is...and to tell the truth, I hate myself. Someone else can have the spot I would've taken up.
