Coldturkey


Mel Gibson in "Forever Young" volunteered to be frozen only to be thawed out by school boys 50 years later.....

The science behind the film is Cryonics, but is it pure Hollywood fiction, or can people really be frozen and then live on years later??

Cryonics is the preservation of "legally dead" humans at a very low temperature (below −130ºC) in the hope that future science (bio-engineering, molecular nanotechnology, nanomedicine etc) can restore them to life, youth and health.

So what i want to know is....what is your opinion on this?

Do you think it's possible?

Do you think it's a scam to swindle people out of their money, which is taking advantage of vulnerable people who can't face the thought of death....??

Even if such science and technology advance in such a demeanour and a person is restored in x amount of years, what happens to their soul, personality etc..??

Just by doing a bit of Net research, i find people have paid hundreds of thousands of pounds for this.... but what makes them so sure that they indeeed will be revived, or such revival will take place.... they can't say "oh well we have signed a contract".... won't that be deemed as void, since they will be DEAD??!?!?!
