VI-A. Why would a person who is old and sick with diseases of old age want to be cryopreserved ?

CRYONICS − FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Aging and the diseases of old age are all diseases which future science should be able to cure. Aging is damage. Future medicine should be able to stop, reverse and rejuvenate all aging processes. Future medicine should be able to keep everyone perpetually young and healthy. Only severe accident, suicide or murder will be causes of death. Cryonics is first aid to preserve people until the capabilities of future medicine have arrived.

Is my pet acting this way due to old age or is he sick?

Veterinary Diseases & Conditions FAQs - Various Topics
Changes happen as pets age, similar to the changes seen as people age. Sight and hearing may be diminished, pets may sleep more, and so on. These are expected changes. However, people often miss potentially serious signs of illness in their pets by writing off symptoms as "just old age" when a veterinary exam is in order. This FAQ outlines what to watch for as your pet enters the senior years.

II-E. Why would future society want to reanimate cryopreserved persons ?

CRYONICS − FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Future society is not expected to necessarily be interested or responsible for reanimating cryopreserved persons. Contractual relations with cryonics organizations as well as personal relationships may provide motivation for reanimation. Just as a person may go to a hospital and be operated upon today by an unknown surgeon, cryonics professionals of the future will be motivated by contractual obligations as well as a desire to save lives.

III-G. What happens to poor people who want to be cryopreserved ?

CRYONICS − FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Many people who say they are too poor to afford cryonics manage to afford nice homes or cars, vacations or expensive hobbies. What those people really mean is that cryonics is a marginal expense and they would rather buy the other things than spend money on life insurance. For young or middle-aged people in good health the cost of life insurance is no more expensive than a cigarette habit.

Why would I want to live a long time as an old/frail person?

FAQ - ImmInstWiki
Also you may be asking: Won't there be a lot of old/frail people hanging around if this works? The answer is that that there is a difference between "old" and "frail". If I showed you someone that by all outward appearances appeared to be 30 years old, would you tell me that they were "old"? What if I then told you that the person you were looking at was actually 120 years old? "Old" is a relative term to the observer (when you were 6 or 7 years, did you not think being 21 was "old"?).

VI-C. Is there any hope for a person who has died of Alzheimer's Disease ?

CRYONICS − FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Subject: (2.1) How can I tell the age of my old fruit jar?

Frequently Asked Questions -- Fruit Jars
It is very difficult to determine the age of a fruit jar without seeing it. However, there are a few ways to make an educated guess at the date of an antique jar or bottle. Probably the most important is the presence or absence of a pontil scar. The pontil scar - a ring of glass or a black and red iron-like indention on the base of a bottle or jar - indicates that a glassblower held the item on a pontil rod (when the glass was hot) while the neck and/or lip was shaped and finished by hand.

What Age Golden Do I Want?

Everglade Golden Retriever Rescue, Inc.
This is a personal choice, but the life span of dogs is increasing, so don't discount the older Goldens. A Golden can live to 15 years with proper care, although 10-12 years is the average. A Golden at 7 to 9 years of age is still full of energy and is quite appropriate for the household that does not want to cope with the activity and training of a younger Golden.
