cryonics - why do you need to die first?

There's big bucks in freezing and not a lot of customers ask for their money back.
Not like M&S for instance.

I agree Ana. In the recent case of the girl who opted for this I did have concerns about the storage of the bodies. If they are kept for say 100 years, who pays for this to be maintained, what if the firm goes bankrupt, what if, what if. So many questions, it's a scary process.

If I got to the stage where I couldn't lead a meaningful life, I'd much rather opt for euthanasia rather than be frozen.

Who would want to be revived and cured 100 years down the line when all that's familiar has vanished and friends and family long gone?

Because they would be killing you otherwise and guilty of murder?
Try spending a night in a chest freezer with the lid down and see if you are capable of even having an opinion in the morning!

Isn't that the whole point of cryonics? They freeze your body in the hope that whatever you died from can be cured in the future. Why on earth would you want to be frozen while alive? Am I missing something? Probably am
