They should revive you because you paid for it.
- b34r 6y agoFinding some 50-300 years in the future that cares might be a problem.
- podgaj 6y agoHa!
- knorker 6y agoOne would hope that the rule of law and private contracts still exists in 50-300 years.
- staticman2 6y agoThere's an expression called ruling from the grave to reflect the difficulty of enforcing a contract after you are dead. The same principle applies as those frozen people are dead in every legal sense and practical sense and likely any biological sense.
- komali2 6y agoI would be extremely motivated to revive them and promote reviving them because I would also want to be frozen and revived. I assume this would be even moreso the case if society develops reviving technology, and therefore knows it actually works.
- knorker 6y agoYet people, doctors and civilians, try to save people who are legally dead every day…
- overcast 6y agoWe're constantly digging up old and dead things because we care.
- triceratops 6y agoBut they stay dead and we can study them at our leisure. If it was people who started walking around again doing stuff, we'd have a different opinion.
- overcast 6y agoYou really think if we could reanimate some ancient person, we wouldn't? Imagine what we could learn from important people in those times.
- triceratops 6y agoIt depends. If cryonics becomes widespread, "ancient people" in suspended animation would be pretty common. There wouldn't be that much to learn from reviving all of them.
- edflsafoiewq 6y agoAhh, the afterlife, now available by payment plan, and much easier than that Kingdom-of-God stuff....
- knorker 6y agoNot afterlife. It's just another medical treatment. And not one that much different from the current system world wide. If you have money/power you get better access to healthcare. Sure, basically-everywhere-but-the-US has socialized medicine, but still everywhere if Jeff Bezos got sick he could go "I'll buy this hospital end every doctor in it. Do your best to cure me". Freezing isn't magic. Just think of it as a better CPR. You wouldn't say this woman got "afterlife", even though apparently her blood wasn't pumping for 40 minutes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_B%C3%A5genholm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_B%C3%A5genholm Also this: https://www.nytimes.com/1988/07/26/science/the-doctor-s-world-ingenuity-and-a-miraculous-revival.html https://www.nytimes.com/1988/07/26/science/the-doctor-s-worl...
- knorker 6y agoNot sure why I'm getting -3 for stating the obvious fact that one should get what one has paid for and has a contract for.
