Scientists Cryonics FAQ

In this Daniel Dennett’s essay “Where Am I?” Dennett tackles the difference between mind, body, and a person’s identity. In his story, Dennett has his brain removed and preserved in a vat. His body stays alive, and radio transmitters make it so he can still function. Dennett starts to question who and where “he” is. Though Dennett has several strong ideas, he isn’t correct in everything he suggests.

As I was reading “Meltdown in the freezer three” by Luna Lindsey I was lost from the start. I couldn’t understand what was going on in the story. I felt like she was taking me around the world and back. I couldn’t get pass page one, I just keep rereading and rereading to try to get some type of understanding. I’m guessing this story is about a woman who sells ice cream in an ice cream truck. But she ran into car troubles and is waiting on the side of the road for a tow truck. Now it is super hot and the lost city in freezer three is starting to meld because of the long wait. It took me a long time to read this because I couldn’t and still can’t understand what the main purpose for the story is. It was lie there was like six stories in one

When I wake up I see a deathly, pale, colourless body. I check to see if she is breathing. Nothing. As much as I tried to hold it in, the pain came out like an uproar from my throat in the form of a silent scream. The beads of water started falling down one after another, without a sign of stopping. I check to see if my mother left anything for me like some food or jewels so I could always remember her. I see a white piece of paper in her

Other than my existence within my own family and my drug addiction, I have no other identity. Most of my life I lived under the influence of one substance or another. I lived a life of fear and numbness.

While a person is conscious, they can form and construct new memories and that when a person goes back to remember certain events this does not require other objects or anything else to be the same as they once were, but it has to correlate the sameness of the person. Personal identity can be proven with how we can recall events through how we perceived them initially the first time, which even if we have changed over time, that through that memory we can indeed believe that we are still the same person, but new memories, experience and perceptions have just build upon the personal identity that a person has had to begin with. Thus personal identity can be proven, along with its connection to the soul, thus it is not wrong/foolish to believe that there is an

May killers are metaphorically cold blooded, but some literally are. These assassins, called ice blood disciples, train for years to master the arts of ice and winter. They learn to create blades and arrows form ice, and to lower their own body temperatures until they are hardly alive. Few can match them is precision and stealth.

The main setting in Crysis 2 is New York City because it is the largest city in the country and heavily populated, one of the most populated areas in the world. The metropolis fell into war torn ruins as U.S. military forces had been heatedly engaging against the Ceph while C.E.L.L.’s actions had further worsened and mishandled their authority over the civilian population still in the city. Under desperation, the military began flooding the city in the hopes of wiping out the Ceph however, this was proven fruitless and as a result the lower half of the city is dramatically damaged from the flood. The US Marine Corps under Colonel Sherman Barclay took over C.E.L.L.’s authority over Manhattan and began an effort in evacuating civilians to Grand

In Perry’s, “A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality,” Gretchen Weirob spends his last three days alive debating with Sam Miller and Dave Cohen whether or not memory is used to identify someone’s personality. Both Cohen and Miller argue that if someone is able to remember their past interactions and the feelings attached to those interactions, then that is used to identify that person. In the reading, Miller first argues that if your body dies today, thousands of years later you will reappear on the earth in a different body. The only thing that remains are your memories, morals, beliefs, and characters. In other words, everything that was not physical is carried on to your future self, which has a different physical appearance.

Cryogenics is meant to freeze a person’s body to preserve life. It sounds cool and all but to me that does not sound like a good idea. Just like anything else in the world cryogenics has some problems. For one it costs way too much money, to freeze your whole body it costs $28,000. Not everyone has that type of money just laying around. The Society for Cryobiology has discouraged scientists from doing work that could advance cryonics, and has adopted a bylaw that threatens to expel any member who practices or promotes cryonics. Why would you want to do something that legal people are against? That makes no sense to me. Another reason why cryogenics is a bad idea is that it may not even do anything. The costs and work to people through cryogenics

Deep Freeze pain relief spray is a product that claims to relieve sprains, strains, minor sport injuries, muscle and joint pain. This product acts like an ice pack, but delivers faster and cooling pain relief without burning the skin with cold ice.

I was forgotten. If it had not been for a collection of grave markers left standing in a field and dusty county records detailing who I was related to and when we all died, no one may ever have come to care about who i am or what it was I did when I lived. That is the eventual hope and assumption of someone, anyone that dies... especially if you lived a forgettable life. A generation or two (or three or four) goes by and all the stories of who you were and what you did fade into the dust of unimportant memories. Sure, if no one cared to write down your stories, you especially run the risk of all oral tradition being lost forever. The descendant of mine that got this idea stirred up into his head, there were many, many roadblocks in the way that should have prevented him forever from even learning that I existed. But

Cryonics is one of the best methods of long term stabilization of a critically ill person, who is seeking to be cured by future medicines. Throughout the history of cryonics there have been repetitive discourses whether substance obsession can be viewed as a trustworthy or even predominant option. Cryopreservation of people or large animals is not reversible with current innovation, the expressed method of reasoning for cryonics is that individuals who are viewed as dead by law may not necessarily be dead according to more precise theoretic meaning of death. It is suggested that cryopreserved individuals may some time or another be saved by future technology. (Wolf)

Cryotherapy is a medical procedure that involves the utilization of extreme cold to destroy any abnormal growth on the skin. It is used to alleviate skin disease such as warts, moles, skin tags, and solar keratoses. Cryotherapy is considered one of the most effective treatments for genital warts. The said procedure can only be done at a doctor's office.

If I could be chosen to be cryogenic I probably chose to be frozen for a while suddenly brought back to life. The fact is when you drive in is when you are almost dead, so therefor you would be old or just have a bad heart or something like that it just would be extremely concerned. Cryogenic would be a scary thought to think about since you’re still alive, but not really, but it would be an amazing site to see when you wake up. However there are some disagreements with that you would lose your friends and family. Then you would need to be old and almost dead, well, pretty much dead some things I would, but other things I would not like to be frozen, but the fact is you could see what America has become and done to help or even destroy the

What makes up a person is their past experiences and what they have been through, memory is not a necessary element in ones’ identity because if a person’s memory fails, they will most likely still have the same beliefs which they developed from their past experiences and thoughts, even if they do not remember them accurately. For example, if you are told to think of your “self” what picture comes to your mind? Do you picture a self/soul? There is no way you can know what your soul looks like, because simply there is no soul; you just picture your experiences and perceptions which make up your identity. David Hume, a philosopher, said that our minds
