  @Lightclops Most probably correct. At LN2 temperatures, there will be little or no brain activity, so probably no dreams or any memory of the time at all.

  @LIFEWITHEUGENE No, but you can commit suicide with a suspension team nearby. In some jurisdictions, e.g. Switzerland, this is legal. It's also legal some places in the USA, like Oregon, but only to residents. When and if the first successful revivals occur, this may change.

  @paulspydar Are you sure you can't afford it? Membership in American Cryonics Society is $300/year. Funding that must be available at time of legal death starts at $33,000, which you can fund with life insurance. Term insurance, if you're young and healthy, is pretty cheap.

@piccachi9498 It's kind of the same idea. We consider both medical procedures designed to prolong life. After cryonic suspension, you may or may not get a new body.

  @BradyHazy I accept your apology. Not a misspell; Cryogenics is a valid word, but means general science of cold temperatures. Cryonics is a new word which refers specifically to preserving the legally deceased in hopes of reviving them someday using future science.

@kellymooey The CPR machine (thumper) is designed for use on living (barely) humans, where that kind of action is required to save a life (sometimes). This is why CPR is always practiced on dummies. It's dangerous to use on humans except when it's less dangerous than leaving them alone.
