Finding 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.
