Cryonics re-entry strategies What legal hurdles will revived cryonicist need to overcome for reintegration?
Cryonicists, having been declared legally dead and issued a death certificate, will need to overcome this and other hurdles when returning to a civilized future. Marriage is clearly until "death do you part". As we are speaking of civil marriage, the civil declaration of death by certificate will terminate marriage, but not the underlying legal ties as parents and kin to family. Remarriage complicates the social fabric, but not necessarily the legal fabric. Death certificates can be amended. Perhaps a "revival" rider will be added to them to certify that such patients have returned from death? This would be within easier parameters than issuing new birth certificates or creating a whole new class of "rebirth certificates" that would require new forms of record keeping on state and county levels. Coupled with a court order, this seems the easist re-entry point into civil society. Other ideas? P.S. I'm not addressing this question to jackass nay-sayers, so stay away!
abqdan: the question is hardly moot when there is ongoing and valid scientific inquiry by way of funded research. the abilty of organs to self-repair or repair with medical assistance from such "fracturing" has been demonstrated both in labs and in applied medicine. while the fracturing is neither severe nor major, i will concede that it is not negligible and is being addressed in a variety of ways ranging from repair after the fact, to applying new techniques to prevent or minimize the damage. long-term rehabilitative recovery becomes a option for revivees. The question is very valid in the context of long-term hibernation and suspended animation of space travellers, cryosurgery patients and others who may one day benefit from this technology. perhaps you are not sufficiently versed in civil law to address such issues intelligently.
