Speaker 1: High Heart podcasts, he more Kiss podcast playlist and listen
Speaker 1: live on the free iHeart app.
Speaker 2: Laura pick to this. You could freeze your body after death,
Speaker 2: sleep frozen for two hundred years, and then wake up
Speaker 2: in the future. Would you do it?
Speaker 1: No, really, I really think about that. I have thought
Speaker 1: about it. We talked about it earlier. The answer is no,
Speaker 1: I don't want to firstly cryogenically frozen me doesn't want
Speaker 1: to come back in two hundred years when all my
Speaker 1: friends and family are dead.
Speaker 2: What it's no, Okay, listen to this. There's this German
Speaker 2: startup called Tomorrow Bio, and I just got like down
Speaker 2: this rabbit hole of this place. They're charging people two
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars to cryogenically freeze yourself for this exact purpose,
Speaker 2: so that in two hundred years, when the technology is available,
Speaker 2: you can defrost and be brought back to the future
Speaker 2: with the technology to like help you revive whatever illness
Speaker 2: might have killed you. So like maybe if it was
Speaker 2: a cancer or something like that, you can literally pay
Speaker 2: now to.
Speaker 1: Be freezing, now live later.
Speaker 2: Yeah, by now die now live later, that should be
Speaker 2: their model.
Speaker 1: I think that this is a scam. I think it
Speaker 1: is a scam, and a very lucrative one. They're making
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand.
Speaker 2: Dollars a pop. Okay, hear me out. This puts the
Speaker 2: funnier bit. It's not that it's funny. If you don't
Speaker 2: have two hundred thousand dollars to freeze your whole body,
Speaker 2: you can just pay eighty thousand and just do your brain.
Speaker 2: But like, where's your brain coming back? How what's what
Speaker 2: You're gonna wake up and just be a little brain.
Speaker 2: They can't do anything.
Speaker 1: Hear me as to why I think this is a scam.
Speaker 1: This just to me reeks of Do you guys remember
Speaker 1: the Theronos story the woman who like brought out it
Speaker 1: was like a blood test they could detect cancer. She's
Speaker 1: ended up in with homes. She's a scam, she's in
Speaker 1: prison for it. And it was like a company was
Speaker 1: worth billions of dollars. It's one thing to say we're
Speaker 1: going to cryogenically freeze you, as that in two hundred years,
Speaker 1: when the technology is there, we can bring you back
Speaker 1: to life. Is the same company developing the technology? Like,
Speaker 1: how do we know the technology has never been there?
Speaker 1: It's still not there one hundred years ago or fifty
Speaker 1: years ago, whatever it was, everyone was saying, oh, we'll
Speaker 1: be there in two hundred. We're never going to be there.
Speaker 2: I saw of get it, though, because what they're saying
Speaker 2: is they're not saying, I guess if you're going to die,
Speaker 2: you have two options. Right, you die and you never
Speaker 2: get brought back, or you die freeze yourself and potentially
Speaker 2: have an option of coming back. So I guess there
Speaker 2: are the people that are like, hey, I get it's
Speaker 2: not a guarantee, but cool, maybe I can come back
Speaker 2: in two hundred years.
Speaker 1: Maybe it makes more sense if you were like in
Speaker 1: your thirties or your twenties, or your thirties or your forties, right,
Speaker 1: because you didn't get to live your full life like
Speaker 1: you if you were, if there was a possibility that
Speaker 1: you're going to die young, you might then explore it.
Speaker 1: But if you're eighty, like, who wants to come back
Speaker 1: as an eighty year old? Be like, Oh, I've have
Speaker 1: boyars left in my life.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 2: So far, the company has preserved six people and five pets,
Speaker 2: and there are and there are six hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: people who have already paid, Like, because you obviously pay
Speaker 2: before you die. The rules are, you don't get put
Speaker 2: to sleep. It's not like an euthanasia thing. You have
Speaker 2: to pre book it, wait till you die, and then
Speaker 2: it has to be done really quickly after you pass away.
Speaker 2: But six hundred and fifty people have paid and are
Speaker 2: waiting their turn.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's like a family because, like, you
Speaker 1: don't want to do on your own. If you're freezing
Speaker 1: your pets, it's freezing someone to come back together. We'll
Speaker 1: do the pick up in two hundred years time to
Speaker 1: produce grace. You're saying, you've got some stats graces.
Speaker 3: On the case.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So there was a big thing about cryogenically frozen people
Speaker 3: back in the sixties, but every single person that was
Speaker 3: frozen back then, none of them are still frozen because
Speaker 3: you have to rely on their family members to keep
Speaker 3: paying to keep them cold.
Speaker 2: Oh, you'd be devl to keep them cold.
Speaker 1: So what it was like forty years and they're like,
Speaker 1: we're done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's to one person that was cryogenically frozen before
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy three that's still frozen.
Speaker 2: Do you imagine growing up and you're a kid and
Speaker 2: it's like, hey, these are like your bills. You've got
Speaker 2: to pay. And also this is to keep your great
Speaker 2: great great grandpa frozen in case he comes back to life,
Speaker 2: like you going to be like stuff that, which is.
Speaker 1: Why I am convinced it's a scam. I am so
Speaker 1: convinced that these companies know that people are not going
Speaker 1: to be able to up the payments for two hundred
Speaker 1: years because no one's gonna do that. So they're like, well,
Speaker 1: there's probably only gonna be one or two people who
Speaker 1: can afford it, and therefore we're not gonna be who's
Speaker 1: gonna sue us They're dead Like it's the perfect model.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna happen. I wish I was around
Speaker 2: two hundred years to see okay. I asked my Instagram
Speaker 2: followers personally because I found this really interesting, but did
Speaker 2: some research. Seventy thousand people saw this. Eight percent of
Speaker 2: people said that they would do it, and ninety two
Speaker 2: percent said no way. But eight percent's pretty big. That's
Speaker 2: a lot of people that are like, yeah, do that.
Speaker 2: I'd stick around.
Speaker 1: I have no interest. I'm just gonna like, do this
Speaker 1: last to the fullest and then I'll be done. I'm
Speaker 1: happy with that.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll track down your great great great great great
Speaker 2: kids
