Cryonics - preserving the 'dead'
I stumbled upon this word "cryonics" when I was studying from my Mike Martin for my 'Professional Ethics' (7th sem anna university) exam. I remembered seeing something like this in Discovery channel some good 4-5 years back (ya..ya I can't remember on what context this word was mentioned in Mike Martin....guess I have short term memory loss but my long term memory is still good). So I just googled and the results were fascinating.
What is cryonics ?
Cryonics is the preservation of legally dead humans or pets at very low temperature (below −200ºF, −130ºC) in the hope that future science can restore them to life, youth and health.
-whoa! looks like its right out of a science fiction movie.
I just decided without a second thought that I should be frozen after my death.
Just think ...your body frozen and suspened for years and you will be back form the dead after millions of years!
hey! if you are worried about the cost of cryopreservation then you can go for the "neuro" option - it involves ripping off your head and freezing it (not applicable for people without brains).
hmm.....'frozen severed heads' .... sounds exciting!
