A brain transplant, eh? I think I saw this movie. Something about pitchforks and torches at the end.

Will never happen. The freezing process destroys the structure of the brain cells. They will never work.

I hope they don’t get freezer burn.

Always wondered if it was possible wouldn’t the person getting the brain have memories of the donor.

Not going to happen...

And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment.

No thanks. I will have been here long enough when I pass the first time.

We already have a large group of Americans with frozen brains. They’re called Democrats! How’s that working out for all of us?

It has been a staple of science fiction writers for decades, the idea of ‘cellular memory’, where a body with a new brain has both sets of memories...................

Some of the heads that have been frozen have actually cracked, or have large crevices in them (that’s what frozen stuff sometimes does...)

Good luck!

Then we need to invent the right antifreeze.

Several plants and animals can naturally survive hard freezing with no damage

This claim has been going on now for the last forty years. No one has been revived yet, it is always “just a few more years”.
Meanwhile a few years back, some family members ceased paying for the freezer and found their loved ones unfrozen decaying and rotting.

So, they've found a way to retie it, eh?

What if you never died but are voluntarily frozen using a special process?

Many plants and animals can naturally freeze and come back. Maybe eventually the same idea can be applied to humans
