Today, if a frozen human body from distant past is discovered
on someone's private property, would that owner of land be
owner of body & have right to sell it to science?
If yes, one would think the older the body, the higher
the price? A 20000BC body worth more than 1000AD?
Now we see vast majority of cryonics is just heads,
therefore full body is rarer. Can we imagine in future
with revival, there will be choices like
a. imitate original body as much as possible
b. use actual original body as well as possible
c. select from a menu of new bodies
d. select from a menu of non-body options
Except for (b), the original body, assumed still
"owned" by the revivee, becomes available
to future science. For a payment to revivee,
one assumes. (money or privileges or ???)
Therefore, in summary, investing now before
death in full body can be thought of as a form
of taking one's current wealth of about
$200K - $80K = $120K into future...???
Discuss. Debate. Refute. Advise. Dismiss.
