"You are the unfunniest person I have ever met."
Those are questions I've considered myself. First though, the criminal in question would have to make their own arrangements. A suspension is something you arrange well in advance, like any other anatomical donation (it's done under the same laws). No provider is likely to do it at the last minute, and without the…
Can't be done while you're legally alive. Not only would those who did it be charged with murder, but it's likely they'd take your body out of the nitrogen dewar, thaw and autopsy it as part of the investigation.
"Speak for yourself, sir. I intend to live forever."
"...start mellowing out as the 7th or 8th decade rolls around. "
"What I don0tget is why would he freeze the second one too. "
So, in the future, no one will have a sense of self-preservation? If so, I guess there will be no one to revive you...
It's not like he couldn't find warmer, fresher bodies elsewhere. Plenty of other people will continue to die without suspension.
Maybe.But at least cryonics and life-extension invalidates the 'who cares, I won't be around for it' attitude...
Not to mention the rest of the Universe, which you'd now have time for...
Actually, he was fortunate to have found two women who were supportive of the idea of cryonics:
Um, you always have the option to end your life, whether after 100 or 1000 years...
Would you say that if I simply bought a car for the same price, or more?
Death doesn't always have a nice hard dividing line. (as demonstrated by those people who fall through ice, 'drown' but ate still recoverable as much as an hour later, due to the cold...and they're not even frozen themselves. Consider the scene in 'The Abyss' that took advantage of this phenomenon.)
Yeah? When Picard ran across a capsule with cryopreserved Earth humans, he was first inclined to leave them there, even though they had the technology to revive them, spouting some philosophical drivel about how people 'today' don't fear the inevitability of death (yet he doesn't hesitate to raise those shields, if he…
No one said anything about 'conscious.' (Though there was an interesting Niven short story; 'Wait it Out' that's related to that)
The same (likely nano)technology that would repair the freezing damage.
This explains it very nicely:
"Man Who Vowed to Live Forever Died Over the Weekend"
Why not?
