The source explains that when we die, our spirit and body separate. Our spirit waits in the spirit world until we receive the gift of resurrection, where it reunites with a perfect, immortal body. Jesus Christ's love ensures everyone gets resurrected, and He judges us based on our actions, choices, and desires.

Arguments / facts :

1. Death separates body and spirit.

2. Resurrection brings a perfect, immortal body.

3. Jesus's love ensures resurrection for everyone.

Dialogue:

Summary:

The source discusses the separation of body and spirit at death, the waiting period in the spirit world, and the eventual resurrection with a perfect body. Jesus ensures everyone gets resurrected and judges based on actions and desires. The goal is to return to live with God. Believing in Jesus, repentance, baptism, and following commandments shape our eternal destiny. The Book of Mormon adds insights into God's plan.

Many people may have heard about cryonics and now wonder if it's something for them. So here's a list of pros and cons.

Arguments:

- the price tag (€200,000)

- It may take a very long time for revival technology to be developed.

Dialogue:

- will the bodies be revived and be fully intact?

Summary:

Although cryonics offers a possibility of revival in the future, it is unbelievably expensive. This sum helps ensure the patients are stored until revival. Besides the sum, nobody has ever been revived, and no one knows, when it will be possible. Thawing tissues, semen and embryos is possible, yet thawing the complete human body is still beyond comprehension. So we just have to trust and believe that one day the revival will be possible.

retrieved from https://www.tomorrow.bio/post/pros-cons-cryonics

Arguments/facts:

Cryonics is practice of freezing an individual who has died, with the object of reviving the individual sometime in the future. Cryonic preservation can be performed only after an individual has been declared legally dead.

Cryonics is about freezing dead bodies in the hope of bringing them back to life with future technology. The debate usually focuses on practical and moral aspects, but this paper says it's incomplete.

Arguments/facts:

1. Cryonics freezes dead bodies for potential future revival.

2. Debates about cryonics usually talk about practical and moral issues.

3. The paper says the debate is not finished because it ignores how cryonics affects the feelings and processes of those who lose someone.

Dialoge:

Summary:

The page says the discussion about freezing bodies isn't finished because it forgets to think about how it makes the feelings and tasks of those who are sad harder. Freezing bodies can make it difficult for family and friends. The paper uses an example from the "Hope Frozen" documentary to show this, trying to help people understand more about how cryonics affects everyone.

Cryonics means freezing a recently deceased person, preserving their body, until future science can revive them.

Arguments:

- since 1962, average lifespan has increased significantly.

- major companies have focused on reversing aging.

- possibility of cryonics becoming more apparent

Dialogue:

- We don't know how much time will it take for the technology to advance enough to revive a person. Is it worth waiting?

Summary:

Cryonics means stopping the process of decaying after death of a person, and storing their body until the technology progresses enough to revive them. In the future, the average lifespan will be significantly increased, so the revived person would live longer. Many prominent companies are focusing their efforts to reverse aging and cryonics seem to become more possible each day.

problems during freezing

Arguments/facts:

• Many uncontrolled variables prevent us from developing objective criteria to compare one case with another

• Suppose a patient experiences 30 minutes of warm ischemia after legal death occurs. Will this downtime create damage that is irreversible by any imaginable technology?

People constantly seek to avoid death, and with future technologies and cryonics, it might be possible, yet there are many arguments against.

Arguments:

- no friends or family of the 'freezee' will be left alive when they are revived

- environmental cost of maintaining suspension.

Dialogue:

- will a person live life to the fullest? or will they die shortly after 'revival'?

Summary:

Besides the arguments that reviving the body is 'against nature', there are more relevant ones such as: the thawed person will not have a family alive when they're revived; people would economise to afford the suspension, thus not living to the fullest. There's no assurance the technology will advance enough to permit revival, either.

Cryonics technology also has advantages and disadvantages, the advantages can be very powerful, and the disadvantages can kill people.

-Arguments

1. Will this really work?

2. Can this really turn dead people alive?

-Dialogue

1. Human cells may continue to age during cryopreservation.

2. It may not do anything.

3. It may provide an answer to space colonization.

-Summary

The shortcomings of cryonics are fatal, but it can also bring unprecedented scientific development to mankind. If you succeed in resurrecting a person, then humans will be able to break the laws of nature, but even if you are preserved, you will still age, because cryonics does not live forever.

Cryonics Pros and Cons | Vision Launch Media

Arguments/facts:

• Will they continue to maintain rights?

• Is the deceased (cryonics) body considered to be a person?

Arguments:

-Preserving integrity of memory.

-"Defrosted rabbit brain was not functional"

- "fixing" defrosted personality

Dialogue:

- will unfreezing a person with full personality really be possible in future?

- will unfrozen humans be all the same after nanorobots' medicine?

Summary:

The current problem of cryonics is keeping human memory intact and brain undamaged after being thawed. To check if recovery is successful, they need a universal decoding language. Its data would be obtained before and after death of a person. The cryologists are currently researching brain's patterns to preserve and know how this particular brain acts. They also need to study how to model, synchronise and transfer neuroinformation.

Store the corpse intact until the future when technology is advanced, and resurrect the person.

-Arguments

1. In order to prevent the body's cells from decomposing, the corpse is kept in a very viscous container

2. The corpse will save straight humans when technology is advanced enough and can resurrect people

3. Cryonics has not yet been officially addressed by scientists, because no preserved corpse has ever been resurrected for this reason.

-Dialogue

1. If humans can't resurrect these corpses, what will happen to them?

2. How long will it take for humanity to resurrect these people?

-Summary

Cryonics is a technology that has not yet been taken seriously by science. The main use of this technology is to put the deceased in a barrel containing chemicals. In this bucket, the corpse will be kept for as long as you want. Humans will preserve this corpse until the future when technology is more advanced, and resurrect the person.

Крионика: трудный путь к «вечной» жизни / Хабр (habr.com)

Many people may have heard about cryonics and now wonder if it's something for them. So here's a list of pros and cons.

Arguments:

- you can preserve a dying/dead body and pause the processes

- if revival technology is developed, anyone who chose cryonics may live an extended life.

- chance to experience the future.

Dialogue:

- how much time will it take for humans to develop such technology?

- will the bodies be revived and be fully intact?

Summary:

Cryonics is a life-saving procedure, that, although not yet fully developed, can give anyone a chance to live an extended life in the future, where the cures to currently incurable sicknesses will be present. The life will be drastically different comparing to now. Cryonics is a great chance to experience the future. The choice to freeze your body will also give scientists a chance to research how to thaw frozen organs, and then we could keep them in organ banks and there'll be a solution to the shortage of donors.

People constantly seek to avoid death, and with future technologies and cryonics, it might be possible.

Arguments:

- the potential benefit to society

- the ability to cheat death for few more years

Dialogue:

- will a person live life to the fullest? or will they die shortly after 'revival'?

Summary:

With cryonics you might be able to cheat death for a few more years, there will be a prospect of immortality if revival is successful. An adapted version of Pascal's Wager is offered as an argument in favour of using cryonics.

How does cryonic works, what's the main idea of cryonics, and facts about it.

-Arguments

1. ­Cryonics is the practice of preserving human bodies in extremely cold temperatures with the hope of reviving them sometime in the future.

2. Your heart beat will stop while the scientist are doing cryonics, and you're "legally dead".

-Dialogue

1. What if you die in the cryonics?

2. Can they really resurrect people?

3. What if in the future no one can resurrect these people, will they forever stay in the cryonics container?

-Summary

Cryonics is a way to let a person to turn them alive, but the person will not be resurrected right away, if not, in the future.

"Legally dead" people will be left in a container and wait until the day that scientists can help them.

How Is Cryonics Performed? - How Cryonics Works | HowStuffWorks

Could humans live for ever of the power of cryonics?

-Arguments

1. How much time will it take to revive a person?

2. Is it possible to revive a person?

-Dialogue

1. When you wake up in the future, you may lose all you had in the past.

2. Even if you gone to the past, you can't stop death, you will still keep getting old

3. “The biggest difficulty is not whether it is possible to recover a whole person from ultra-low temperatures – there is a reasonable chance that will happen in the future. It is the fact that they will be dead. If they were dead when they were frozen, they will still very much be dead when you thaw them out.”

-Summary

Cryonics has pros and cons, and it is not 100percent safe. Breaking the laws of nature will be punished by God. Just like losing all the things you adore, losing your family...etc. In the future won't be anyone you know.
