Re: Cryonics…
Okki found an answer on soul:
What happens to the soul of a cryonics patient?
Source: Cryonics Institute – What Is Cryonics? A Brief Introduction
Many people who arrange to become a cryonics patient upon death – rather than be buried or cremated – do not believe in the existence of a soul. But many cryonicists do believe in a soul. If cryonics is simply an unproven medical procedure there is no more reason to believe that the soul goes away during cryopreservation than during a night’s sleep. Human embryos have been cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for decades, yet many religious authorities believe these embryos have a soul. The same could be said for cryopreserved cryonics patients.
Cryonics is not in conflict with religion any more than medicine is in conflict with religion. Heart bypass surgery extends human life and is fully compatible with religion. Similarly, cryonics may also extend human life by preserving people for future medicine. Cryonics patients are not regarded as dead by cryonicists. Extending human life is not in conflict with religion.
How long can future medicine potentially extend human life? Perhaps by hundreds or thousands of years or more. Plans of an omniscient God would not likely be thwarted by human efforts to extend human life hundreds or thousands of years. Hundreds or thousands of years is not a significant amount of time in the context of eternity. To refuse new life extension technologies could be a sin comparable to suicide.
