Source: WikipediaIf there was some sort of guarantee that you could be revived in the future would you have your body frozen when you die? What kind of problems arise with being woken up in a world that is completely different than the one we live in now? Do you think you'd be able to adapt or will society have changed so much that you no longer have a place in it? Discuss.

If I was frozen when I died, I would want to be resurrected at a point in time when I could be made into a cyborg.

Haha, I often think about robotic enhancements but it always looks really uncomfortable.

Well yes and no. At first it would be uncomfortable or maybe even painful, but our bodies learn to adjust. Like getting prosthetic limbs, etc. etc.

The limbs would have to feel like real ones. I couldn't do metal, I have a thing about cold things touching my skin while I'm trying to relax or sleep.

Well if you're a cyborg, I imagine the metal is pretty well integrated into your body. Cold things wouldnt really be touching your skin because the body heat would just warm up the metal closest to you. Unless you had like one cyborg leg and one real leg. Then I could see it getting annoying. Just wear cyborg pajamas!

I think I could live through the discomfort. But I hope the cyborg limbs/bodies feel and look realistic.

I would most def not want to be frozen, unless the cyborg thing was an option. People are weird now, can you imagine the culture shock!!!! ?

It would be totally different. I guess there would have to be some sort of program for reintegrating you into society. I don't think I could do it either.

Maybe if I was an evil mastermind, and I was very wealthy and could stay up[ in my house after I thaw and never have to work again.... I would be down!

Why would you need to be an evil mastermind to do that?

You are so right. Nobody questions if an evil mastermind has a secret armory.
