Suspended Animation.

TheDaVinciChode · 06-03-2010, 08:59 AM

If you believe in such a thing (which I do not,) well... The answer is in the name.

The "immortal soul." Suspended animation is much like sleeping. You're not dead, so your soul will not leave your body. Your body could live a million years, but that's less than a blink, in Heavenly terms. Your soul, being "immortal" has no concept of time. Whether you die at birth, or live to be as old as our Universe, your soul will never wither, never die - It's immortal - It's perfect - It will always be ready, when your body lets go, to enter Heaven.

... That's my take on it, anyway, as a non-believer in fairy tales about magicians, invisible men, ghosts, zombies 'n' the like.

Not according to some scientists it would seem. They were quite adamant the subject would meet all the criteria of death.

Not just thawing but some version of jump starting would be necessary.

The immortal soul, in all of God's wisdom, would know that the body was not dead... and if you were to "walk into the light," as they say, your body would die, you would not be able to be revived, at the end of your stasis period.

God has a plan, from the beginning, to the end. If His plan is that you go into stasis, and be revived 10, 20, or 10,000 years later... your soul shall follow that plan, and shall remain in your body... You are not dead, until He decides it is your time.

Really, there is no real question, as to what would happen to the soul, were you to enter stasis... If God exists, thus, we are born with souls... Then God's plan exists, too... and nothing can over-ride God's plan; certainly not any technology born of man.

Stasis, being not actual death, not God's chosen death, would simply be, as I stated, like sleeping. Do you fear your soul will leave you, as you fall asleep? Of course not. It's the same principal.

(Ignoring fact and science... because we're discussing God. However, if we're discussing science - Whilst you may meet most of the criteria of being dead, you're still lacking the main one... you will come back. So, technically, you're just in a very deep state of hibernation, with an incredibly stalled metabolic rate. So long as something is keeping your body from actual death, you are not dead. So long as the technology is in place to revive you, at the end of your deep hibernation, you're still simply sleeping, and not dead.)

Now where did you get all these silly notions?
