All to me the stuff of a coktail of James Bond, Dr Who, Brave New World with asplash of 1984 and Catch 22! What is the point aprt from odd individual cases? Ageing has been around since thedawn of life so why change a perfectly good natural process aprt from the obvious dollar feast! Age is in most cases more a state of mind! Each person is an individula and artificail lengthening the normal lifespan of that person will undobtably lesd to serious psychological adjustment problems. Will this rejuvenated person suddenly become an invincible teenage nightclubber for example? There are some who believe spending a fortune on have their earthly clutter preserved in ice may result in some sort of technological ressurrection at some furture point when their may be medical cure for whatever ailed them. Reality check called for I think. The purveyors of these wares are no differnt the quack "docrors" who plied their wares in the 19th century promising the earth in exchange for dollars. Bit like politicians really! Any that believe you can entirely halt nature and tame it must be sufferring kleptomania of age cures! What seriuiosly folks would someone do having eother been ressurrect years hence or evn had their existing lifespan shoved forward a few years. All their familier place may have gone replaced by whatever was current fashion, all their friends and enemies would most likely be dead and gone! So they "arive" effectively alone in this miraculous rebirth with their memorry intact and their body beautiful but but no mates and sufficient incongruence to keep a dozen regenerated Frueds going forever! Frankenstien should stay a work of fiction as with politicians promises!
