    your body isn't who you are, it's just a host for your mind where the important stuff happens

    but of course you have to keep it healthy otherwise you die

    and btw your cells die all the time and new cells replace it. after some time you're not even the same body anymore

    when you die the neural net in your brain collapses and the vast majority of the data is lost forever unless there's some future technology that'll be able to download it. so forget about being resurrected

    Chinese man buried in his car as dying wish is granted | South China Morning Post

    A villager was buried in his car instead of a coffin in northern China on Monday, as requested in his will, according to reports.

    The car-loving man from Baoding city in Hebei province, surnamed Qi according to website Kankan News, had asked to be buried inside his silver Hyundai Sonata when he died, reported news site Sohu on Wednesday.

    Hyundai Sonata? I prefer to be buried in a coffin car.



    BTW, that's the Dragula from the tv show The Munsters.

    burial or cremation. so old school

    what if in our lifetime we develop a technology to preserve our bodies, including the contents of our brains, in "cold storage" until such time that we develop a technology to cure ageing or tech to download our brains into a simulation e.g. The Matrix

    which means that someday you'd wake up in the future w/ all your memories intact

    unfortunately this "cold storage" thing is gonna be very expensive

Which do you prefer? Buried or Cremated ???
