What do you guys think of cryonics? I for one think it's a pretty interesting idea. I've been reading some information at Alcor: Life Extension Foundation recently and I'm actually thinking about signing up. I'm fairly young--20--so an insurance policy to cover the costs would be less than $10 a month. It seems like a cheap price for a chance at living possibly far into the future if something happens and I die at a young age. Some of the new technology they use for neuro preservation, like vitrification, sounds pretty advanced. It seems to be light years ahead of simply freezing something to prevent cellular damage. I know this isn't for everybody, and the technology today is nowhere near being able to bring someone back, but I believe it could get there someday.
What do you think?
