Some of the clients of cryonics’ company Alcor are so confident that they’ll ‘wake up’ in the future that their loved ones beget left them voicemail messages.
Companies such as Alcor pump people’s brains full of ‘cryoprotectant’ fluid before being frozen – in the hope the brains will last decades or even hundreds of years.[br]But what will happen whether technology DOES advance to the point where people’s brains and bodies can be brought back?
It’s by no means clear what will be left of people – with some cryonics companies admitting that brains may be damaged during the process,Metro.co.uk reports.[br]Many ‘cryonics’ fans beget their heads frozen – not their whole bodies – imagining that in the future, brain transplants will be possible.
A lot of people beget different ideas – including rather alarming prospects such as transplanting the frozen brains into robot or clone bodies, and far in the future.
But others believe that the moment could come far sooner than that. Here’s some of the people who expect to live forever – and what they judge will happen.
