cryonics - why do you need to die first?

With the state of the NHS, flaming Brexit and Donald Trump (to mention a few highlights) I'm pretty glad I am unlikely to be around for much longer and will be well out of it. I don't want anyone bringing me back thanks very much.

Yes, me too...

HootyMcOwlface, brilliant!

I have read that the whole body is not frozen, just the head......... and stored upside down.

In the case mentioned I assumed the hoo ha who to give the poor young girl a smidgen of hope that she would indeed see her family again in the future but then all of them would have had to be frozen too, so I didn't really understand the logic. However, in that situation who could deny her?

I don't think I fancy that Candelle

'A sudden rush of anti-freeze to the head'

Now, I was going to write a book one day, apparently 'everyone has a book in them' - is that a good title?

It would be interesting to learn what happens when someone is defrosted as it were. The generation who will be around when this happens will probably find it amazing - just like we do today when scientific events take place that previous generations wouldn't have believed could happen. Sadly I won't be around to find out and I'm certainly not going to be frozen. Can't see the point really but that's the current state of my thinks

I love the Diana Gabaldon books too Elegran. I have just started watching Outlander on Netflix. ( other channels available )

Having defrosted the body I want to know how they are going to get the brain working again. ECG?
