Call me naive, but I never watched The Island or Austin Powers and thought, "where can I get my hands on one of those snazzy body freezers" because I never thought they were actually real. The possibility that these things do exist excites me and adds yet another thing to my bucket list.
I say bucket list as in, "things to do before I die", which is the part of the frozen bodies concept that Simon doesn't seem to understand. I was under the impression that you had to freeze your body before you died in order to come back to life in the future.
If you have cancer, and you die from cancer - I highly doubt that even copious amounts of anti-cancer serum will cure you. I assume this because science has taught me that dead means dead.
Unless your a zombie.
So, in that case, to freezing bodies I say, no sir!. Not only do we not want Simon Cowell eating the brains of the losing contestants during Season 682 of American Idol, but I don't want to watch "Dawn of the Dead" under the context that it is a documentary.
And in under just five minutes, I have already crossed one more thing off my bucket list.

ReplyDeleteYou forgot the just freeze the head crowd. {*grin*}
Apparently they've been freezing people after death since the 1970s. Personally, I want to be frozen after I die, but not because I want to be brought back to life either. I just want to be preserved long enough into the future until it becomes economically feasible to shoot dead people into space. It'd be cool to spend all eternity just floating around the stars and stuff.
ReplyDeleteI put way too much thought into these things...
