Who here believes in cryogenics and will be frozen after death?

No.

Technology will make brain implantation possible in the future IMO. As far as freezing the whole body? No, that doesn't seem feasible or economical.

I do.

I remeber watching a video on the internet pre-youtube about this and they pretty much explained how teleportation was much more likely that cryogenics due to expanding cells. Yet tearing down cells and cloning them would be feasible in some sense. The odd thing was they explained in Star Trek each time you were telported you were basically killed and cloned, as who you were was ripped apart to tiny molecules and sent via subspace transmission and then reassembled at the destination using the molecules. Which is by our ideals impossible, but not more impossible than the idea of freezing cells and then reanimating them.

Though oddly there is the frozen fish. LINK






While it's cold blooded, it's cells were frozen and it did come back to life. Odd.

Ask Ted Williams about it when he wakes up.

To the OP, I think if you freeze the body after you die... well you're dead not much of a point...

But if you're still alive, we may have just not figured out a mechanism to make this work. If we discovered a similar mechanism to arctic frogs it may be possible. These frogs with natural biochemistry are able to withstand subzero temperature. Breathing and heart activity actually stops for

I actually learned about these frogs in my biochem class.
The gist is to hyper concentrate cellular glucose which draws H20 into cells. Damage from frostbite occurs due to frozen water in the blood causing an osmotic gradient which draws more water from the cells into the bloodstream which maintains the gradient eventually causing cell death via dehydration. So the problem isn't water expands when it freezes, its the balance of water in extra/intra cellular concentrations. A balance between a temperature low enough to slow metabolic activity and some type of chemical gradient in the cells of vital tissues with strong enough colligative properties to depress freezing point (Raoult's law) maybe an answer.

The cryogenic facilities just keep the human head, more cost efficient especially since the victim, uh customer most likely has an account to tap for the long term. Many years later when a cure is found for the head there should be enough funds to connect it to a monkey's body or whatever body option "David Ames" account can afford. I don't doubt that eventually the medical science will make some astonishing leaps, but it will never be good enough to completely cheat death.

I just want them to be able to upload my consciousness into a human like android with a 10 inch dick. Like that Bruce Willis movie.

Your link describes something more like transferring a copy of a more or less equivalent consciousness at the time of transfer into a computer which would replicate neural stimuli in another live human, but it does nothing to maintain your personal life/existence. Also it doesn't really address that the other persons neurons are wired differently than yours, so it will not be the same. Structure and function are extraordinarily related in neurons.

I think the OP is getting at freezing yourself until the tech is available to live forever/be brought back to life, not insert a copy of your consciousness into something else. I think it would be easier to freeze yourself alive (like the arctic frogs) until people figure out how to prevent degradation of telomeres during DNA replication. Similar to cancer's "immortal" cell lines, but in a more controlled non-cancerous fashion.

Manipulate cellular machinery/genes to have "immortal" cells/tissues/organs/systems rather than just inducing stimulation of excitatory or inhibitory neural circuity in a separate entity.
