    Let's say it really came about that there was a way to actually freeze yourself for 1000 years. Would you take the chance or would you rather stay in the present and miss out on what new things the future holds. Of course you'd miss out on what new things the present holds but i'd just like to see what people would do.

    I for one would seriously consider freezing myself to go into the future. I'm young and have nothing to lose from doing it so I would proberly do it. What about you guys?

    Id do it if friends/family had all died or were doing it too. Would be a bit shít landing in the future without knowing anyone.

    I wouldn't do it... but it's only because I've recently given birth and wouldn't like to miss out on my daughters life. If I was younger and childless I think I would do it!

    Only after commiting a massive wave of crimes and offences.

    I'd do it when i am old.

    In the future people will live forever, so i'll be rejuevenated when i'm woken up.

    That way i get the best of both options without any of the bad.

    No chance, imagine what it would be to wake up in the morning and realise that every single person you ever met has been dead for over 900 years? That's not even taking into account people you really care about, thats EVERY SINGLE person you've met since birth till now. Talk about depressing.

    I though loads of people foroze themselves in 1902 and thawaed out six months ago...? Would explain all the right-wing switch-hugging.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Well, if as perfect drug said, all your friends and family were either dead or doing it, then ya. What have ya got to lose like? If it I was told there was no way I would ever see tehm again though, no. I like the friends I have now. I don't want to have to make new ones a thousand years in teh future, where there's a chance the human race has been entirely wiped out anyway....
