14 year old girl wins right to have body frozen

[Boss_Blue]

And I respect your right to be offended.

This offends me.

Ash, stop thinking like someone from 2016. They would only thaw her out when they have the technology to cure her cancer as easily as extracting a tooth.

I'm thinking logically mate. It isn't a case of a switch and a bolt of lightning ala frankenstein to reanimate a body. We might not be able to comprehend it now fine, but it would be a massively complex process.

And that isn't even factoring in the point that the tech may never exist legally considering why would anyone fund a technology when the issue 50 years from now will be the world's population?

I don't need your respect you misogynistic pig.

I'd be all for it provided it was conducted by a mad scientist against a stormy castle backdrop.

When she was studying medicine my ex put herself up for science purposes. That was until she witnessed her first post mortem, she swiftly took herself off after that.

I'd be minded to. I've no religous beliefs and no real superstition about death. Will probably learn a bit more about it first though.

Being from an Irish Catholic family and educated by nuns has left its mark. I still believe but don't practice. I've wondered about the spirituality of of bringing the dead back to life. If you believe in an after life and that you have a soul (and it isn't just the Catholics who do that) then what happens if a person is brought back? And even if you don't believe in that, what essentially makes you who you are is not the body but the soul (I can't think of a better word - that unique thing that is you and not governed by the arrangement of your DNA) Does that inner soul/spirituality/personality/emotions come back too.

My grandma has told the family that she wants to donate her body to science. The family ain't happy. What can you do?

I've no idea what your take is on this, but I'd imagine that it's up to your Grandma really - not supporting her will only cause tension.

My old boss had her Mum do it, I think she had to sign consent and they still had a good funeral, just without a burial or a cremation.

It's her choice isn't it. I must admit I didn't particularly like the idea of her body being cut to pieces but as you say what can you do.
