I read about this news earlier and while I'm skeptical about whether or not cryogenics will actually bring back the dead, it was her death wish and therefore should be honored.

I'm glad she got what she wanted, even if I think the whole cryogenics stuff is a load of hooey.

I'm glad her last words were honored. However, I don't believe the fact that in a hundred years or so, we will be able to bring back people alive if they were prior dead for years, frozen or not. As for cancer ... it will always be here. I mean it's a wish but a lot of people are dying of that. If it were proven to be effective, it would be money cow very quickly. I mean, you are drained and filled up with something else. I'm not buying the whole "we will fill you with your blood again and everything will be fine".

I don't believe she can be brought back to life. She died and then got frozen. Hell, I think even if you get frozen alive, you'd still die.

I think she found some sort of peace in this decision, good for her.

The problem with cryogenics is that when the cells are left frozen for too long, cell death occurs, and nothing can bring those dead cells back. I'm not sure on what the time limit is to be safely brought back, but they've done it with animals...which I do not approve of, btw. Still, I'm glad the girl got her wish. And you never know, maybe it'll work.

Shit, at least she doesn't have to deal with a Trump-run world.

Hmm. Maybe I'll get myself frozen.

If it were me, I'd rather my parents donate the money to cancer research, where it could do some good.

Yay for having wishes respected? I mean if that's how she wanted to go out, then okay. I'm fine with it even though I don't agree with cryogenics.

Cryogenics is also not a cure for cancer. I just hope she isn't somehow still aware on some level we aren't able to detect because that would be torture. :l And I hope she doesn't get woken up just to die of .. cancer yet again.

I think that cryogenics is really interesting, actually. I've been really into science for pretty much my entire life, and I remember that I did a paper on cryogenics in like middle school or something like that, and even though it wasn't all that long ago, it was still a science that people didn't really understand or believe was possible and my science teacher was basically like "..." I think it would be really awesome if it was able to actually work, because people who are terminally ill might have a chance to have a cure and a life after illness, but I don't know that the technology will ever be able to deliver on the promises that people are making about it.

They've brought back animals that were cryogenically frozen, successfully? Really? That's fascinating... Do you know anything else on the subject? (I'm not condoning these actions, I'm just shocked that it could possibly work.)

1L. Talk jargon to me. Or give me a paid internship.
