Would you consider deep-freezing your body after death?
The first Australian facility for human body freezing is set to open in 2022. According to the article on news.com.au, there are already 32 people signed up paying $50,000 each to have their body frozen and stored post-death at the Southern Cryonics facility.
No human has ever been frozen and bought back to life and it's been made very clear that the facility did not have the technology to bring people back to life.
Scientists have been able to thraw frozen ancient Russian roundworms back to life, but many have stated that the human body cannot be preserved due to the complex molecular structure.
“The technology for freezing people, let's call it ‘suspending’ them because it’s way below freezing temperatures, but suspending them is reasonably well known,” Mr Tsolakides said.
“However, the technology for bringing people back is for the future. I want to make that very clear, there’s no guarantees.
“The idea is that there‘s some possibility, it might be 10 per cent or it might be 50 per cent."
What do you think? It's not like you can take the cash with you after you die and the price of a funeral these days is a good portion of the fee being paid for the freezing process!
Would you consider freezing your body after death?
"No human has ever been frozen and bought back to life and it's been made very clear that the facility did not have the technology to bring people back to life." Seems some people like to gamble even after they die. Would you really want to come back to life some time in the future, when all your family and friends have probably died and you have no assets and face the prospect of life in a world vastly different to what we have now? Don't think so!
