Cryogenics?

Cryogenics, for those who don't know, is the study of materials at very low temperatures, and is more commonly used to described the preservation of humans after death. People can actually pay money to have there entire body (or just there head) preserved, by putting it into a "freezer" of extremely cold temperatures as soon as they die. Scientists believe that one day, we will have the technology to unfreeze these people and they will be alive once again (They also believe a new body will be able to be created for the people who just chose to keep there head, but hey, its much cheaper)

So, would you yourself look into cryogenics, as a way to defy death? Or is this a tad extreme?

(Han Solo did it in "Return of the Jedi", why can't we?)

Fiction. Freezing a biological material changes too many completely. If needed be, a lifeform must be frozen inside out at the same time (in a fraction of a second) and preserving density/volume. (which is mostlikely not happening)

Because Han Solo is (probably) a fictional character that (most likely) does not or will not exist.
Although it MAYBE possible, it is highly unlikely at this point in time.

Besides, should you freeze a person now, and thaw them out later, even with the capable technology, would be like throwing a caveman into our modern society. (Or if you're an insane bible guy who goes "HEY, CAEVMEN DUN EXIST", its like throwing a dumbass into an advanced social system, say a "Nerd Lab").
There is a low possibility of co-existing.

Doesn't sound too extreme for frogs.

Relatively ancient and inactive

My new plan: Become a frog.

Frongs don't exactly have the same motor functions and mental capacities as compared to that of humans.

That was a well constructed sentence.

People don't exactly have the underwater breathing abilities of frog either, but I'm saying if there's something out there that can achieve a cryogenic status, we can learn from it.
So yes, I think freezing people will be possible in the future. (Of course we could freeze them now, but that would do little good.)

Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I suppose there's something to that

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless
[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]
Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value
[2024-5-06. : 5:01 am]
Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Ultraviolet -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort
[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- definitely EUD

Vrael -- damn is that all EUD effects?
