r/cryonics

idk first time in this sub

I’ve been thinking about cryo preservation for many years it’s always been an interest for me,

I don’t want to wait too long to be frozen.. I feel like the earlier you go in the better.

Google says there’s no place in the world where you can be legally frozen whenever you want, you have to die naturally or some bs otherwise it’s murder.

Do you think the laws will change so we can choose to be frozen?

If you guys could choose to be frozen today, would you do it? I’m 20 rn so I think I would in 5-10 years

1. When will the technology be advanced enough to maximize the chances of revival? Cause as soon as it is, I might sign up and check out early.

2. What are the right reasons for wanting to be frozen and revived? Like, I have my various reasons, but I don't know if they're good enough.

3. Do you worry about being revived and ending up in shittier circumstances than you are in now? How do you overcome or prevent that?

We work in human cryopreservation, and this is one of the most uncomfortable questions around it:

If someone clearly chose cryopreservation while alive, should their family be able to stop it after legal death?

Families are grieving and may strongly disagree, but people usually expect their end-of-life wishes to be respected.

Where should the line be?

Should written consent be enough, or should the family still have a say?

If you had limited money and time, would it make more sense to focus on:

Living healthier for longer now
or
Planning for cryopreservation if medicine fails you later?

Damn it, this thought just won't leave me alone.I'm just thinking about what if in the future it becomes known that 10%(for example)consciousness somehow is in the body. What if a part of the personality is in the body in a way that is unknown to us now?

P.S My cat is on a neurocryopreparation probably I'm a little paranoid

Published case reports? long-term funding? storage location? response time? research?

Curious what people care about most

"Researchers can now identify an atomic site, position a molecular tool, remove an atom, deposit a molecular fragment, form a bond, inspect the outcome, and attempt a correction. This is not yet molecular manufacturing, but it is credible evidence that an experimental science of positional mechanosynthesis is beginning to emerge."

It’s a key popular science article for deepening understanding of issues of personal identity in relation to current patients.
