But it concerns me when modern medicine and science assumes the role of God. I don't believe any one man has the responsibility to dictate life or death, save Jesus Christ. <br /><br />Still the medical implications of such an advancement would be monumental. But as it sounds from the book written about Alcor, what horrors will we go through to discover such technology? <br /><br />Finally, if one were to be cryopreserved what WOULD happen to the soul? On the one hand, if it resided in heaven, I for one would be upset if I was resuscitated, and on the other, quite relieved (and possibly traumatized) if I returned from hell. I guess I lean more towards limbo, but I suppose it all is in regards to what you believe about the soul. <br /><br />Props for a good muse.Jonathon Spaidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518122161715399657.post-4071920014234176662009-11-04T10:01:57.990-06:002009-11-04T10:01:57.990-06:00Like, I still wonder: WHERE'S MY FLYING CAR?Like, I still wonder: WHERE'S MY FLYING CAR?MacLarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14308887476612019363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518122161715399657.post-3231013166848224932009-11-03T16:37:51.830-06:002009-11-03T16:37:51.830-06:00Interesting article.
