Well as far as cryogenic freezing goes for humans... it's not gonna happen. Human cells are too weak. As the water in your body freezes it forms ice crystals that are very, very sharp and they kind of tear up all the cells. Walt Disney isn't coming back, sorry.
As fair as the question goes hypothetically, sure I'd be frozen if the people that I really cared about had already passed on.
As far as living forever, I'd love to if the woman I love could live forever with me , but again that can't happen.
Becoming immortal in the sense of not ageing to death or being susceptible to deseases, sure I'd do it, so long as my girlfriend can become that way to.
Am I afraid of death? no. Am I afraid of dying? no. Even if it's long and painful? still no, but I'd rather it not be that way. Pain is only temporary and I'd be dead afterwards and be beyond caring how I died, so I figure why worry about it before I die either.
I would like to think that we will be able to extend human life beyond natural limits in my lifetime, but if we don't, I think I would be satisfied at 70, but wouldn't really mind living to be a centenarian.
