Storing dead people at -196°C

Just idiotic. Idiotic, wasteful, immoral, unethical, and impossible…

The ancient Egyptians had a better chance at resurrection.
When the preservation process causes more irreversible damage than death, paying through the nose for it is just dumb…especially paying to have just your disembodied head frozen in a vat with hundreds of others who died of something incurable.
Won’t it be ironic when they solve the cell rupturing freezing issues, learn to reanimate dead tissue and repair brains that were freezer burned for decades…only to not be able to cure the diseases they gave you by tossing you in a vat with the other heads! 😂

This is nothing new. The first intentionally cryogenically frozen person was frozen in 1967, and not much has changed.

Also…who in the f*ck thinks “there aren’t enough people, we need to bring back the dead”? What utterly brain dead moron thinks stopping death, even just for the Uber rich, is a good or feasible idea.

In the immortal words of comic book guy, worst idea ever!

I don't get the big deal. People ask for stupid things to be done to their remains, including things that they think will give the everlasting life (albeit in heaven). This is more wasteful per corpse and I hope the practice doesn't get popular for that reason, but I'd say the waste pales in comparison to something like bitcoin mining.

I found the video itself interesting enough, particularly since it wasn't advocating the practice in any way.

I do disagree with the 'death is bad' premise, even though someone very close to me was recently given a few years to live. If no one dies we get unsustainable buildup of humans, and if only some people get to live forever that's probably worse.

You think that's the worst idea ever? In the immortal words of the jailer from Life Of Brian, it's not as nasty as something I just thought up.

It’s not a huge deal…unless it catches on, but it hasn’t yet.
Absolutely there are more wasteful endeavors, that doesn’t make this any more sane or responsible though.
Absolutely again agreeing with disagreeing that death is bad. Death is not only necessary, it’s what makes life interesting. Immortality is a curse, one I wouldn’t wish on even the ultra rich….nor would I wish for an ultra rich immortal caste.

Nice…..Yeah yeah…CBG is hyperbolic….everything can’t be the worst ever….or can it?

Yeah, I just like quoting Monty Python, particularly when I'm countering a quote with a quote. Usually it's obscure stuff and usually I don't say I'm doing it, but it just gives me a bit of a giggle.
