Should I FREEZE MYSELF when I die? | S2E9 with Katee Sackhoff

[@protocol6]

Cop: Are you classified as human? Korben Dallas: Negative. I am a meat popsicle.

[@nicadi2005]

@Transmission Control LOL! Good Reference! Here's another one: as the chap giving the tour kept talking about "neuro-patients", all I could think to myself was: "That - is - a - MAN'S - HEAD!!"...

[@horuslupercal2385]

It's impossible to freeze Katee...... She's simply way too 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@billycross1798]

True.

[@RCDesertRat]

CALIENTE!!!

[@johncollinson4147]

Piquant!

[@1976narak]

Now this is worth the time to watch on KZbin something we’ve seen in the movies and knowledgeable instead of looking at IG/Patron/Onlyfans girls showing off box openings in their knickers or stockings (some people have their own sick fantasies I guess), but this is what I believe what KZbin was made for someone we all know telling fiction moulding into reality info! Wayda go Katie keep em coming more videos like this 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bagofbarn]

This is amazing. Kinda like a documentary. You should be a reporter.

[@briancohen-doherty4392]

Totally agree 💯, she has a curiosity to her that lends well to true investigative journalism

[@johnganner6102]

I never became a full on fan of urs, Katee, until I found this channel! Lol xxx I love how down to earth and cool u r to be around! Xxx U r not afraid to get ur hands dirty and, more importantly, u r not afraid to be as immature as the rest of us! Xxx Don't u EVER change! Xxx

[@Thraka5]

I enjoy your vids but this one has got to be one of the most informational. I did not know cryo had come this far from when I first read about it! Mind Blown.

[@KateeSackhoffOfficial]

I know right 🤯

[@stephenlangsl67]

Are You related to Ted williams?

[@TomorrowBio]

Great video! Very nice that you were able to have an open conversation about this without it becoming 'pushy'. We, as a cryonics company, also understand that cryopreservation is not for everyone. The aim is simply to give people, that unfortunately could not have been saved today, a chance to live longer.

[@TroyTempest63]

So Katee Sackhoff gets frozen and then revived. ... "Starbuck Rogers in the 25th Century"? 🥶

[@ckeefe9868]

Exactly! Too funny....

[@dragonmac1234]

Thanks Katee, that was a very interesting video. I've watched many sci-fi movies and tv shows over the years, and always thought cryo freezing was just science fiction. But Max does make some interesting points about science moving forwards, maybe not as fast as we want, but who knows what will be possible in the future. I'm getting older, I'm making those involuntary noises when I stand or sit, would I want the possibility of a new life in the future, maybe.

[@35doddsy]

That is absolutely incredible. The mind boggles.

[@kennitawatson7883]

So do it; see the future. It's incredible now, but in a few hundred years it will be commonplace. I'm signed up with Alcor; I have friends who are signed up with CI; and there are a few other companies you can sign up with. The alternatives you're usually given are burial or cremation. You can do better.

[@forrestp33]

I’m so happy you’re leaning forward into your new KZbin videos. They’re really interesting and fun!

[@ThePumpingiron27]

You are definitely becoming my favorite KZbin channel! 💕

[@matiroy]

Nice coverage! I've been signed up for a few years:)

[@TheIregan]

Loved this episode, Katee!!! Thanks for taking us on an adventure with you :)

[@ArmyVetGirl77]

Hi Katee, I love all your shows and movies that you are in. This episode was really good and got me thinking about possibly doing this. Not 100% set but will definitely look into it more as a option.

[@chris.eskimo]

Incredible video, Katee ! I think THIS kind of stuff is your other calling, besides acting ! Entertaining, intelligent, humorous, and heartfelt!

[@goodfriar]

Wow! Great episode, if were within my means I would do this. And the thought of being thawed out into a freshly grown body is fascinating. In my next life, I would definitely take better care of myself. Thank you for sharing.

[@wirraway_ace]

Ms. Sackhoff, this was truly fascinating and much less surreal than expected. I particularly enjoyed they way you shined a light on the psychology of the process: its tendency to make one take fewer risks in this life in the hope of another. At the same time, your comment, "I am running out of time to do all the things I want to do," resonates. A captivating conundrum in the finest traditions of sci-fi. Thanks for making me think!

[@derekpeterson7412]

As I first watched Another Life, I was uncertain. When it had moments of necessary bad ass take charge moments, the way you played Niko and how you showcased that bad ass feel and take charge. Pumped me up! You’re damn good in it! #starbuckforever ❤️

[@emmabentley7945]

I have to admit, been laying here with my partner watching this, and this is truly fascinating, and is presented in such a way by you Katee that it is understandable... you really should do documentary work! awesome !

[@KateeSackhoffOfficial]

Thanks for watching

[@RCDesertRat]

She has a great voice for documentaries-she should do one about space, the universe and the planets. I’d watch that!

[@katarn101]

Very interesting, very educational, and very entertaining. I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel and this particular video. Cryonics is definately a thing I need to put more thought into!

[@JeffreyAK38]

Well Done, great topic that I never knew I wanted to understand more. Thanks Katee and stay safe.

[@FalcorDragon]

I love how you approach these things with such a sense of wonder! You're amazing :)

[@roberthallmark9426]

What a great episode, so full of information and one that leaves you with more questions than answers ? I shall ponder over this for a long time, just like everyone else I guess 🤔

[@BrianEBoyd]

Cryofreeze or not Starbuck will live forever.

[@pattytrek]

Katee, that was absolutely incredible and very educational. Thank you

[@Pharmerlynda]

The medical term is you have to be “warm and dead” to be declared dead. We also do something called therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest which protects the brain and allows those who suffer sudden cardiac death to have normal or close to normal brain function if cooled quickly enough after brought back to life once they recover. It’s been one of the most important discoveries in medicine in the last few decades...

[@frenchorcatrainer]

That was a very great eyes opening video, and definitely left some interesting thought in my mind as well. On a side note, great work on Galactica and Another Life, which I am watching right now ! Keep up the great work ! :)

[@steelmm09]

That was great katee really enjoyed watching hope you make more videos like this one

[@wyocowboy8465]

Love your channel Katee!

[@anaflorit_editor]

Amazing episode thank you so much for making it, please do more like this when we are all safe to go back out into the world. I’m gonna look more into this because to be honest I could consider doing this for myself ...

Interesting stuff.I'm always waiting for a new vids,they are interesting,funnyand educative.Keep them going Katee.😉👍💪

[@aaronhowey2819]

Just Subscribed to your channel, today....I really enjoy your work and your personality. Great job! Keep it up.

[@janetaylor6362]

Well this episode has really opened my eyes I must say. Thank you Katee for covering this subject. I always thought that human tissue when frozen then thawed, would end up as a mushy lump like a strawberry under the same circumstances, obviously things have evolved a great deal. Now to start saving up the money!

[@sanssatori597]

Most of us members pay for it with life insurance. No need to save up a big chunk!

[@janetaylor6362]

@@sanssatori597 that's good but, as I don't have any dependents, I didn't see the need for life insurance.

[@sanssatori597]

@@janetaylor6362 Sure, although I think it's better to get it in place with life insurance just in case something happened tomorrow versus however long it takes you to save up the money. Besides, you can then cancel your life insurance once you make your payment. Just my thoughts.

Katee, Thank you so much for making this video.

[@CoinDragon]

THOROUGHLY enjoyed this!! Thank you for sharing, Katee!!

[@jorklind]

I would love to see this become a somewhat regular series - Katee Sackhoff explores science fiction-y things that actually exist. I'd watch it!

[@shawnhawkins8875]

Thanks for sharing Kaytee! I only thought that existed in the movies. Heard of people being frozen, but not to the extent described. not sure I could do that. Part of me doesn’t want to see what the world will look like in 100 years but there is also that element of curiosity. Mmmm!

[@kansaskilljoy6683]

That was incredibly interesting!! Thank you for doing that!! A friend of mine did a presentation on Alcor back in the 90s so it was very exciting for me to actually be able to see the place and how everything works!! It's definitely something to consider!! I just worry about what the world is going to be like and what I would wake up to!

[@joestrout3331]

Take a chance! :) If the world is really bad, it's unlikely they would bother to revive you. So if you wake up at all, it's probably in a world where people care enough to do such things.

[@sanssatori597]

@@joestrout3331 That's actually a really good point!

[@trwhite1266]

I first became interested in cryonics while reading "The First Immortal" by James L. Halperin. It's a great scifi book that explores not only the effect of this on a current time period, but how it might be to wake up in an unknown future. Truly a great read.

[@berwynvaughan3324]

omg Katee this was an awesome video, I have always thought the same as you as to kind of wanting to do it and come back in the future and this is a massive eye opener and yea I think if i could afford to do it I def would :-)

[@joestrout3331]

Are you sure you can't afford it? Talk to a life insurance agent! For most people it costs about the same as cable TV.

[@remmbermytitans]

I've been signed up with Alcor since 2012 (at a young age of 22), and it's great to see more and more people become familiar with Alcor! Happy to answer any questions if I can.

[@sanssatori597]

Props fellow member!

[@basildave]

Hey Katee, this was good... it was funny when you were talking to Max More about how he got into Alcor and life extension, I had the exact same attitude regarding those issues that he did when I was growing up. I believed that by the time I was as old as I am now, we would have most diseases cured, people would voluntarily live for hundreds, if not thousands of years and die when they wanted to. I was definitely someone living in the future as well (no flying cars or shuttle trips to the planets)... I've been hoping for Alcor to work on the legal side of things, like trying to coordinate with states that allow for physician assisted suicide to offer a controlled freezing process as an alternative. I have also hoped that some of their supporters in academia and R&D would look into short term hibernation. As Dr. More stated, trauma surgeons and ER physicians have been using limited types of hibernation ... you would think that they would start to look into extending it for short term preservation for patients with terminal illness that might have a chance with new therapies in development but they won't be ready fast enough to save their life... so maybe a limited hibernation time of less than five years.

[@t342006]

This was a great episode Katee, very informative. I agree with the comment that you should be a reporter, well presented interview. Sounds expensive, but if I had the resources. I’d do it.

[@kassie5779]

I hope you have your own TV show with episodes like this one day, this was fascinating.

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day Katee, That was SO interesting. I also noted that you asked extremely good questions. As a former journalist, I can pretty quickly identify a good interviewer and you slammed it. Great questions. That is all about listening. You were, obviously, interested in the topic so you listened intently to what the gentleman was saying and based your common sense questions on what he was saying. I'm not entirely sure that there will be jobs for film critics 150 or more years in the future but then, I really liked university so much I thought about staying and getting my Masters and becoming a lecturer. In the future, one can only guess at the levels of education that you might need to become a university teacher. I might only qualify to teach kindergarten. But, as the Alcor chap said, you will have the opportunity to, eventually, do whatever you want to do. In Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future there's no need for money, so, people work to better themselves... that concept has always fascinated me. You're probably luckier in that no matter how far in the future you wake up, people will still want entertainment so, I guess there will always be jobs for actors. Wouldn't it be mind blowing for me to see you on a screen, or whatever medium, acting 200 years from now! Thanks, Katee, that was a fantastic 'little' documentary on a huge subject. Cheers, Bill

[@Lennon766]

I was thinking of getting myself Cryogenically frozen but now I have cold feet. Great video though Katee

[@gomcocramp]

why only your genitals?

[@sanssatori597]

Great video Katee. You really made this topic fun, Speaks a lot about your personality. I'm still onboard with the idea that you should take over the Dirty Jobs show!!

[@Davegre200]

Hi Katie, It is nice that you have a mind that is open to cryonics. I have been signed up since about 1991. I'm 82 now and don't want to be cryopreserved. I would rather not die and cryonics is the second worst thing that can happen to a person but it is a great plan B. If you like living and are optimistic, there is no reason not to sign up. It would be wrong to bet against technology. If you were dying in a hospital and they gave you 3 choices, including being buried, being burned to ashes, or cryopreserved, it is a no brainer. Until aging and death are cured, cryonics is our only hope. I hope your mind can get used to the idea so if and when necessary, you can join our friendly and optimistic group to meet again in the future. Thank you and, of course, our great spokes person, Max for the video.

[@sanssatori597]

Hello fellow member, well wishes.

Fascinating video, Katee. But don't think I'd do it. For one thing, I'd be paranoid that I would really have some level of consciousness and be aware of being trapped in that tube.

Whether or not I freeze myself would greatly depend on if a resurrection ship was within range.

[@kathleenbell48]

Very informative. Your videos offer something to think about

[@jeremyowen3737]

Thankyou for the wonderful insight. Kate you touched on a really interesting point, not living life to the full because of the worry of not being close enough to the centre to get put through the procedure in time. I don't know about you but it seems odd to me to steer one's life according to the implications on how one might die 🤔. Don't get me wrong though, I like the idea of the brain being preserved but as we all know there is far more to this amazing universe than what we can see. Whatever we decide to do with our bodies or brains is a choice for us individually to make but whilst mine is still running I like to marvel and wonder at life and the universe. Perhaps those amazing black holes are a key to yet more mystery. They stop time, potentially turning all existence into huge chapter's of a book.

[@matthewlake182]

Cryonics seems like the most rational option. It's surprising that more people aren't using it. I'm quite young and I think we'll extend lifespan before I'm old, but I will be signing up to cryonics as a backup option.

My wife & I were 8 years with Alcor and we switched to the Cryonics Institute for many serious reasons.

[@robertfast5961]

You have that right, losing a child is devastating and you never get over it...

[@Aarkwrite]

This is fascinating and the awe is infectious. Cryopreservation is deffo an option.

[@Flutterbyby]

Fascinating! I was researching this last year and have university degree. But I do love sci fi including dystopian 😉

[@David-Daithi]

I looked at Alcor, Cryonics Insitute, and Oregon Cryonics. Its such a fascinating way to time travel. It would be wonderful to see how our culture and technology changes (hopefully for the better). And I do think its reasonable to think that cellular damage could be repaired in the future to address any imperfections in cooling and dilution. And I dont mind head vs whole body. But what about your friends and family, not everyone could come a long? Plus there is the whole discussion about an immortal soul. And finally, I dont think anyone should live for ever, all good things must end. Fun stuff!

[@dupeaccount1647]

I think you should live forever. Death is really the end and if you die for good, that's it. You won't experience anything. I can get people who get bored of a hobby or a job and think "it's time to move on from this" but I don't see it the same with dying.

[@Cathee.M.]

I wonder what the psychological implications would be of waking up centuries after you were last conscious, having to learn how to function in a new reality, and - in some cases - knowing that everyone you loved is long gone... that's got to mess with your head... are we sure people are ready to deal with something like that?

[@andrew-jv7iv]

This was fantastic! Any thoughts on covering the weapons training you have done for your roles ? Or to learn as a new skill ? Bring Tricia along, you two are great together x

[@alexisprojects]

This technology assumes that the mind is in the head, not the result of a specific living animal's interaction with the environment. It would be a bit uncomfortable if, when they figure out the tech a couple of hundred years down the line, they realized that the assumption isn't correct.

[@itsruffoutchea6636]

[@ybeev3409]

Interesting video thanks Katee. You should try reading, or listening to, the "Bobiverse" books by Dennis E Taylor. Book 1 We Are Legion (We Are Bob) has an interesting take on Cryonics.

[@InstantCanadian]

A lot of comments about cost here, so I wanted to chime in. I am an Alcor member. I'm 44 years old and pay $144 per month for a life insurance policy that covers my cryopreservation. Had I purchased the policy when I was younger, my premiums would be even less. Regardless, $1,728 annually for the possibility of coming back down the road is absolutely worth it to me. If you have any interest in cryopreservation, I very highly recommend talking to your insurance agent about policy costs.
