Terminally ill teen won historic ruling to preserve body

The dad said "Even if the treatment is successful and she is brought back to life in let's say 200 years, she may not find any relative and she might not remember things and she may be left in a desperate situation given that she is only 14 years old and will be in the United States of America."

Those of us who have signed up for cryonics should consider putting together a statement that when we are revived, we will check to see if similarly revived children are being looked after, and if they are not we will consider it our moral duty to help the children.

There's a big reddit thread on it. Predictable comments.

An interesting blog article too, and it points out that Majaresh is still "deeply meditating" in the Himalayas, in an open source cryonic facility....

"It turns out that a person cannot control what happens to their body after their death – because a dead body is not property, so you can’t state in a will what is to happen to it. Williams v Williams 1882. The wishes of the deceased may be relevant, but they don’t bind third parties. "

What utility would future humans find in reviving cryonically preserved humans ? Besides a cryonically preserved person can't fight to protect his/her own interest to have the cryonic facilities spared during economic crisis , wars , social unrests..... which would surely happen in the future , history has shown time and time again how those who don't or can't fight to protect their interests stand no chance of having their preference on the status of the world met (other agents would force their preference on the status of the world instead)
