I am really interested to hear people's views about whether they feel medical science will ever advance sufficiently to revive people who pay thousands of pounds to have their bodies, or heads cryogenically stored? Surely this is so far from the realms of possibility as to make it utter nonsense?
For myself, it feels a little like clever a modern day scam, based on little more than fantasy and science fiction, taking large amounts of cash in exchange for something which people will never be able to complain about if they don't receive. Customers can be tricky, dead ones on the other hand don't tend to make too many demands. To make matters worse I saw a programme recently in which relatives of people who had been cryogenically stored were saying things like, "It gives me comfort to think I might see them one day, that they aren't really dead.." - this was quite a common theme, so people's grief also appears to be being exploited somewhat.
If we were going to try to attain mortality isn't it more sensible to augment our bodies while we are alive and well, rather than to wait until they are dead and damaged and then subject them to further damage through the process of cryogenics?
