Suspended Animation.

I read that book, eventually you start running into copies of yourself without all the updates...

Let's hear from an expert:

Dr. Herbert West: Blasphemy? Before what? God? A God repulsed by the miserable humanity He created in His own image? I will not be shackled by the failures of your God. The only blasphemy is to wallow in insignificance. I have taken refuse of your God's failures and I have triumphed. There! THERE is my creation!

I just heard about that. But apparently people and frogs have different physiology.

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.

Now where did you get all these silly notions?
