Cryonics

Do you believe that cryonics will work one day to bring the dead back to life or is it just a scam?

Cryonics

I don't believe it is a scam, I think it is a valid theory. But that is all it is, a theory. I don't believe that the process will ever work, as I think it goes against the general plan of the universe.

Cryonics as a general theory looks good, but I don't believe it will ever work they way it does in the movies. What I think will happen is that people will eventually be frozen when they have a disease, then be unthawed later to test a possible cure on it. They will be a beating heart, but nothing but a shell kept working by a machine. Once someone is really dead and gone, I have a hard time believing that they will be able to revive true perceptive brain waves so that the person will be the same as they were. The shock alone would be nearly to much to deal with. The idea is very cool and I would love to see it become a reality, but we can only go so far with technology before we have to ask the question "should we be going this far with technology".

I'd have to agree with konquererz on this one. We would be able to have a husk but no real life.

In the US, life expectancy is just 78 years, too short for the Americans opting to be cryogenically frozen after death. More than 100 people have been cryo-preserved since the technology was developed in the late 1960s, in hopes that new science will one day bring them back. Some are even paying big bucks to have their pets preserved alongside them. ABC's Barbara Walters sits down with a family that's paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in hopes of waking up together in the future. Tonight, we'll have a sneak peek on Nightline of the ABC News Barbara Walters special "Live to Be 150 ? Can You Do It?," airing this Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET.

The science of Cyronics is sound but I think more research need to be done on it for it to work properly. Right now they are freezing people basically killing them thus releasing the should. They are not able to bring these people back. IF they are able to slow the body down to a point of still living but frozen in time it may still work. I think that day is a long way off though. Science soo is going to have to ask itself if this is the way to go or are we going to play god?
