But does Zack Dunlap - Google him - have a soul? He was declared "dead" (brain dead) for more than six hours last year, and yet he is alive today. Be careful how you answer that question, because remember: Cryonicists (which includes many PhDs) claim their patients are NOT dead...... therefore, the soul would just be "chilling out" for a while... ;)

Whats the noun for a person who has been cryogenically frozen? Is it a Cryogene? Or is there not a noun to describe such a person at all?

Not being sarcastic at all the soul leaves immediately on death and moves on. What we must eventualy learn is change is good why fight it? The fun is in moving on not staying still. Life flows and is not stagnant. IMHO

@abluishrose: "Highly impossible"? Whoa. I've heard of plain old "impossible".... but I never knew there were degrees of impossibility... ;). Sarcasm aside, I recommend that you do some research into current practices of cryonics and and research in nanotechnology before making such claims. For example, if you're capable of visiting YouTube, then check out Alcor's website.

@DrawingYou: Being snarky doesn't invalidate the claim either. For example, in 2005, Twenty-First Century Medicine vitrified a rabbit kidney to -135°C. Then it was rewarmed and successfully transplanted into a rabbit. Anyways, I have two questions for you: (1.) How does putting money into genetic research help the folks who are dying TODAY? (2.) What makes you think when we cure cancer we will have the knowledge to extend life indefinitely?

Nathan gave a wink, so he could have just been sarcastic. But for those who really think that, answer this: when someone is revived in a hospital, does that person still have a soul? How long does the soul need to escape? 10 minutes of "death"? 1 hour? 1 day? 100 years?

so many of these Alcor clients are already in their 70s and 80s when they succumb to cancer, etc. If revived in say, 60 years, who are they gonna live with? And for how many more years? OMG the guy at 2:34 has a butt-neck! And who is caring for all the people frozen in the 1960s and 1970s? Who will maintain the facilities in 30 yrs? I dont get it!

Christians talk a lot about the depravity and wickedness of the soul. What if coming back to life without a soul makes you a better person?

Onlythetruth1:I stand by my claim of putting more credibility into genetics (including anti freezing). Also your snarky remark doesn't make your claims true (gullibility does not a heaven make.)
