transhumanism

[Zen Badger]

My objection being that you aren't even alive when you're put in suspension.

So even if they did manage to reanimate your corpse, you won't be in it.

Ok Now we are getting into philosophy of mind and I'm on home ground here.

assuming that my corpse can be reanimated why would it NOT be me in it?

Because your mind is a bunch of electrical impulses and when those impulses stop so do you.

Now if you were put into suspension while you were alive and you could be frozen in such a way that the freezing didn't cause cellular disruption then yes. It would be a valid option. There is even a species of frog that does this naturally.

But the current method freezes you after you die. And when you die either your mind ceases to be because the electrical activity in your brain has stopped or your soul has moved to the next plane of existence. Either way all that is going in the fridge is a corpse.
