      Do you mean like put it in a cryo-preservation state to live longer? Kinda like Captain America? I certainly would not want to wake up 100s of years from now in a world where I do not recognize anyone, where my family is all dead and gone and I do not recognize anyone or cannot relate to anything that exists anymore! It is hard enough keeping track of all the changes happening during our lifetime, let alone to wake up in a different life time and realize what is going on! Imagine if Galileo or da Vinci woke up in today’s world! They would be astounded by the world around them but at the same time they would be quite intimidated!!

      I would LOVE to go back in time though, to the time when the great pyramids were built or the Great Wall of China or the Roman Coliseum to see how back in the day, without any of the modern technology or things we take for granted today, people were able to build such marvels!
