You die your way, I'll die mine. Burial, Cremation = no choice. Cryonically dead freezing a joke. I'll sadly be last laughing... after my return or just get on with living.

If some of it offends readers send letters to Joseph Bolden /CO I thought I was done with the Cryonics (freeze after death stuff). But it occurs to me having organizations to help me ease back into society after being revived after death is one way of coping another is gathering past memories. This can be a combination of books, records, tapes, CD’s,(Compact Disks) video’s, dvd’s (Digital Video Disks) Its not living in the past but having things of the past from your era or era’s. Of course some people with way to much money and nostalgic longings for the so called good old days can end up living in a Village, City, where time literally stops. I don’t want that just to have memories of my personal time as I gradually learn how to live, work, and survive in my new future. While dead then after my brain is being renewed, rewired like that film "Demolition Man" I’d like to have languages, updated applied sciences, art, mathematics, civilian and military knowledge of how to training and self protection that could be hardwired into "sleepers" as an added benefit. Physical, mental, social living and writing in-field (outside of hospital/clinic facilities). A test for being close and detachment will be when Sex Surrogate/Psychologists themselves or their assistants physically interact with patients most likely ready to rejoin the living. For those not ready it may take longer to detach from their surrogates and if possible a surrogates truly loves his or her patient their jobs won’t be lost just docked a years pay and will be on indefinite leave pending outcome of inquiry. Fame for the very first revived human being can be a traumatic ranging from world love, hate, indifference, to individuals fascination with making out with a formally dead person akin to Star F___ing. This could be a similar form of F.F.F.Fornication with Formally Frozen More euphemism’s can and will be coined but imagine being the object of such intense lurid attentions from a few weeks to years because you literally embody people’s fear of sex and death? The world will have changed in 60, 80, or a century and for any individual stepping back into life from death will be a challenge not only to themselves personally but to the world at large. What happens if psychopaths, child molesters, or serial rapists or murder’s are brought back how will society deal with these looming issues? I do not know the answers to these serious questions. But I do know humanities longing for life extension and immortality won’t be stopped by politicians, corporate interests or religious organizations. If I am the first eyewitness to this technological breakthroughs I hope to be able to bare up to what happens if I am reanimated after what would to me seem a long sleep instead of real death. Maybe someone else, a woman, child, handicapped person given new body, limbs, or anyone coming back from death could fare far better than I that would make everyone coming behind have a smoother way in their second life. You already know my answer, death is part of life but death can be has been delayed, slowed, reversed, and some people have been brought back. I’m itching to find out that between the deity, human, artificial intelligent guided technologies a way will be found to revive people not only back to life but also made younger, their biological/chronological clocks also rewound for better and longer lives. In my humble way I hope to be one of many beneficiaries of the life extension emerging sciences. I guess I’m part of 1 to 2% that never say die. Bye…
