If she does meet any remaining relatives when she's reanimated I'd imagine she'd get a frosty reception

They cadaver nice party to celebrate her reanimation.

I've already informed my family that they are to strap my corpse into the passenger seat and take me for a drive round a safari park, when we get into the Lion enclosure they are to push me out and record the Lions going to town on me and stick it up on youtube and watch the views and likes roll in. Told them to disable the comments section though cos I don't want people saying nasty thing and upsetting the family.

Nah, baboon enclosure at Knowsley. Strapped to roof rack with assorted fruit shoved up ya chute. They'd dismantle and disperse the body in seconds.

Good question. I don't think it's a particularly religious thing to wonder what it is that makes us...us.
Another thing to consider, what will the world be like if it was possible to bring you back to life? Would you even be accepted?

I suppose the acceptance would depend on whether by the time you were brought back re-animation was common place. If however you were the first I would imagine that you would be treated like a freak for the rest of your (second) life and would never be able to lead a normal life - whatever that would be in those times.

Have you seen Woody Allen's film Sleeper? Comedy angle on this subject.

Few hundred years down the line we may have massive population issues.

What government in the right mind would want to bring loads of people back to life who are going to require an incredible amount of support?

Or maybe the first to be revived would be considered a kind of novelty. Then when it becomes common place, there would be resentment. Resentment that they've been given a second chance or resentment that the world is overpopulated and they are considered an extra burden.
I've no idea really, I certainly won't be around to witness the outcome...

I've not seen the Woody Allen film but I have seen 'Chiller' by Wes Craven. It didn't work out well..

They'd only thaw this girl out once reanimation has been tried, tested and proven 100% successful, AND they've developed a bona fide cure for terminal cancer (interestingly, if her cancer is so advanced that it's killed her, what real hope does she have of ever being cured?). I'd say such a time is a long, long way off.

I was just typing the same thing. Something else to consider..seeing as how it is privately funded, and costs a fortune, would there be resentment towards those who are revived when only the rich would be able to benefit from a second chance?

Interesting idea. Potential immortality for the wealthy.

The deeper you get into this whole thing the scarier it becomes.

The simple fact that @Ashtonian couid be potentially reanimated in the future, means that emergency laws need to be passed right now to outlaw this ever happening.

Only way to take advantage of it is to be young when you do have it done, on the basis that it works.

If you are 40 odd you are far too old to make the most of a second chance in the future.
