The cryonics reading brought up a few points.

One totally logical point is found on the CI website, talking about the cost. The fee "due at the time of death" could be paid by the life insurance policy who pays CI directly. So, if a person is declared legally dead and the insurance company pays off say $50,000, and the person is cryonically suspended then what happens when they are revived? You can't collect social security for a person who is dead. It just goes against all logic. Dead is dead in my mind.

It also brings up the mind body identity problem. Two people are not the same person even if they share the same flesh. Two people are not the same people even if they share the same memories. Each person is an individual, a unique being. The technologies required to reanimate people bring new questions of who we are to light. It's not like a blood transfusion and a gradual warming. In some cases (such as neurosuspension), the head would be frozen to be saved to reconnect with a body. A person's flesh and another person's memories would make two separate people. Or would it? The brain could look down and know that those were not his hands but does it really matter? It's not like the hands would refuse to listen to commands because they didn't know the brain. But then again, if the neurons weren't all firing on the same path, perhaps the hands could refuse.

I don't know! It just seems insane to me. Why would anyone want to preserve themselves? It's the circle of life. I married my husband to grow old with him and see him in Heaven. Not to become cryonically preserved and be revived to meet my great-great grandchildren long after my children are dead.
