Twenty-seven people are banking on the idea that modern science will someday find or engineer a fountain of youth. Those twenty-seven people, all deceased, are “patients” of the Alcor Life Extension institute in Scottsdale, Arizona, where their bodies-or merely their heads!—have been frozen in liquid nitrogen at minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit awaiting the day when medical science discovers a way to make death and aging a thing of the past. Ten of the patients paid $120,000 to have their entire body frozen. Seventeen of the patients paid $50,000 to have only their head frozen, hoping that molecular technology will one day be able to grow a whole new body from their heads cells.It sounds like science fiction, but it is called cryonics. As you can imagine, cryonics has its share of critics and skeptics. And of course, Steven Bridge, president of Alcor, cautions, “We have to tell {people} that we don’t really know if it will work yet.” Nevertheless Thomas Donaldson, a fifty-year-old member of Alcor who hasn’t yet taken advantage of its services, brushed aside the naysayers and explained to a reporter why he’s willing cryonics a try: “For some strange reason, I like alive…. I don’t want to die. Okay guys?” For those, Donaldson, who like being alive, God has good news. Jesus Christ has risen from the dead with an eternal, resurrection body. He has conquered death. All those who believe in Jesus will someday also be raised from the dead with an eternal resurrection body. Jesus is the only sure hope of eternal life. John 11:25; 1 Cor. 15
