Jokes aside, while I have nothing against adults doing things to themselves, especially when paid from their own pocket and not touching other people, yet I still have some objections about cryopreservation. Technical difficulties may one day be worked out, or not. But the main problem as I see it is cultural change. Cryo, in my opinion, will only work for the folks who can live well in any kind of society. And I literally mean it. Cannibalism and zoophilia are two things that come to my mind which could put me off. Well, a dog, maybe, but a crocodile? Actually, neither a dog nor a croc. And I am quite sure that over long enough period, everything will become a cultural norm. I could think about other off putters, but the two might be good enough for a start... Above, I made an assumption that unfreezed human will be dominating side of relationship. How about being partly consumed in exchange of more prestige points and societal acceptance? How about being married to upgraded alfa crocodile? See? Only two small ideas. Now my brain is trembling. Of course I am not going to deny it to other people who want to do "the jump", if this is what they want. Chances are, they will make it into a garden of earthly delights. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
