Advantages and Disadvantages of Cryonics

Advantages of Cryonics

1. It could help for the survival of the Human Race: nowadays the risk of a nuclear war has been increasing. Using the foundations of cryonics, it would be possible to maintain the survival of the human race, along with the plants and animals that we currently have, should a nuclear holocaust occur.
2.  The Organ Transplantation System can be improved: If organs could be cryonically preserved, then all of the regional organ donation lists could go way. Everyone would have the same access to the available organs for transplantation.
3. History and Experience: Since 1976, cryonics have successfully cryopreserved over 100 patients, all of them are still in perfect cryostasis today.

                                                     

Disadvantages of Cryonics

1. It's very expensive: the price to use this technology is around $28,000 for an all-life service 
2. It Could Prevent Death: the death is part of the life, and if cryonics is applied, this moment of the life won't come and the life-experience is affected.
3. It Could Change The Ethics Of Humanity: How would people treat each other if death is not an option? this can change all the meaning of the life
