Dear Visitors!
Thanks for clicking on the link to my blog.
During the next days, weeks, months and years, I want to give you all information about the history and development of cryonics, my personal personal experiences and thoughts about it all kind of topics and sources related to it.
Please fell free to contact me any time, if you have got any recommendations or questions!
As I am quite new to the topic as well, I can not gurantee you, to have an answer for every one, but I will try to.
How I decided to become a "Kryoniker"
I remember, already when being a child about four or five years old, that I would have asked my parents, if they would ever die, because I was afraid of being alone.
But my parents would always tell me, not to worry about, because of the fact they were parents, they would never die. Therefore, I concluded as a child, that the fact of being a parent, would make myself immortal. That's why I decided in those years, I definitley wanted to have children (I still don't...).
However, I was quite upset, when I became friends with a gril, who grew up without her mother, because she died
of multiple sklerose, when she was only three years old. That was probably the point, when I realised, there is actually no way to achieve immortalitiy.
During the years, repress thoughts about how it is like to die or being death, because I could simply not deal with it (and to be honest, I often still can't). However, finally this year came the time, where I could still not repress it anymore.
My grandpa died in hospital because of his own wish and actions to pull all life-sustaining tubes out again and again at the age of 90 and I respect his decision and hope he found peace. Only a few weeks later a good friend's grandma died in hospital too, after it seemed like she had already made it. Again a few weeks later a good friend of my mum died only at the age of mid-50 because of cancer, six months after the diagnosis and after she went through surgery, got all her organs taking out and fighting like hell. This period of people dieing in my environment kept going with friends telling me about people they had known, who died more or less tragically.
So I really had to deal with the death now. And this fact actually started to make me cry whenever I went to bed. Because I cannot imagine how it is like to be death and I do not want to be death at anytime. I do not belive in god or the paradise. I belive after the death comes nothing.
Just BLACK and SILENCE
So I started on doing research about alternatives or on how to get relief from my painful thoughts.
And I found the term "Cryonics" or in German "Kryonik".
"from Greek κρύος kryos meaning 'cold') is the low-temperature preservation (usually at −196 °C) of a human corpse, with the hope that resuscitation and restoration to life and full health may be possible in the future" (Wikipedia, 2018)
I know it may be a very controversial topic and not in the sense of many religions.
So please, feel free to leave this page now and never come back.
But however, if you are still curious about cryonics, please stay and check for my next posts, which will be online soon!
Yours,
Christine
