Major leap towards reanimation after death as mammal's brain preserved

A pig's brain has been frozen with its cellular activity locked in place and minimal damage. Some believe the same could be done with the brains of people with a terminal illness, so their mind can be reconstructed and they can "continue with their life"

Would people want this? Imagine waking up to a world where 200 years has passed, everyone you knew is dead, everything you knew is history.

Just buy the family pack and get your wife and kids on it too.

As for traveling to the future: that sounds like fun!

It's dolomite, baby

Why do you assume that everyone you know will be dead? Won't some of them also be preserved.

As for "everything you knew is history", who wouldn't want to witness and be a part of a new world?

I quite enjoyed the original run of the docuseries "Futurama" on this concept.
