| But perhaps someone cryonically suspended in the next 100 years will be successfully brought back to life in the next 1000 years. Seriously. |

Drakeo Vortex | It will probably happen
| but how much of them will remain intact? |
deusdiabolus | It probably won't happen
| Unless we can devise a permanent, uninterruptible power supply...slim to no chance. |

Alex Future Bokov | I don't know
| ...and now let's vote on the possibility that someone who is *not* cryonically suspended will be successfully brought back to life anytime before the heat death of the universe. Any takers? |
DJ dAndroid | I don't know
| It seems unlikely to me; brought back to life? Yes. But back to vital and "original" condition? ... |

subdermal | It probably won't happen

chippedlogic | It certainly won't happen
| when one is cyronically frozen, neither is the body(or mind frozen) but the molecules of H20, et all become crystalized/expand and this breaks membranes. Certain pathways are broken in linkage of hydrogen bondings, etc... it certainly wont happen. |

Hermit | It certainly won't happen
| If successful means "as before", then without a "time machine", no way. See the FAQ discussion at http://www.churchofvirus.org/bbs/index.php?board=31;action=display;threadid=25353 |
