Just imagine how many posts @Baines' left foot would have made on the minor things that make you fume thread in 50 years time when he is a cantankeous old git. He will own that thread!

I think at some point humanity will be able to preserve, or 'pause' life (Futurama/Wayward Pines style...) but it's the death then freeze bit that makes me think it's just too implausible.

If it's pickled there's a good chance @neil999 has tried to eat it.

Yeah, but that would only be any fun if you could pause the good bits. Like I dont fancy being 80 for ages, but being 20 to 30 for ages would be sound.

Except surely your mind would age as normal, no? Imagine having the body of a 25 year old, but the brain of a 50 year old.

Actually, scrap that, count me in.

How is freezing the girls remains any different to cremating them? Or putting them in a box and burying it in the ground?

from dust to dust man.

Possibly - its already evident in nature, HOWEVER... With the population rising at such an expanding rate, I don't think we ought to allow it.

If we are able to cure all illness and live for longer, how is the current planet going to survive it when we are buggering it up already? 100 years ago the population of the earth was roughly 2 billion, by the end of this century the population will be 9 billion at its current rate of expansion. Illness is natures way of thinning the stock so to speak.

What do we reckon? Not for me personally but I very much feel for her being 14 and knowing that she's dying.

Would you want your body to be preserved in the hope you can be re-animated with a cure in x number of years?

I can barely deal with world as it is - eff waking up centuries from now to be greeted by whatever it's become then!
