Question of The Day.
 

I was up late last night. Started talking to my buddy about random what if's and would you's. (Don't ask, mostly would you hit that)

And i come up with an interesting question.
Suppose some scientists needed "guinea pigs" for their experiment and they asked you. The experiment would involve having you frozen (100% chance you will live after being frozen) for X amount of years. Where you choose how many years you would like to be frozen. For every year you are frozen you will receive $725,000. The catch is that the scientists haven't perfected aging yet. So you will continue aging giving up X years of your life.

The question is, how many years would you give up if any..

like i said on AIM, 5 years :)

Thats a lot of money, but money isn't everything. I'd rather live.

one year for $725k

but i wouldnt want to deal with all the media stuff etc after that

2 years... hand me $1.5mil after I'm done and I'll be happy.
I'll be happy I got that much sleep, not that I got that much money :glugglug

1 year, id be the first to be unfrozen, so i can write the first book about my experience, make millions off that, also do the tv interviews etc. that $745,000 adventure would turn into a franchise of shit that I'd make of it, and turn it into so much more. I can see it now ..... Casa Nova "The Frozenman" haha

Personally, i wouldn't do it at all.
My friend had the wrong idea, he said do it for 20 years and get $14.5M
I value life too much i guess

Never said you were the first :winkwink:

I'd do 2 years.

never said you would have haha. you guys are making so many assumptions

I don't think I'd do it at all. A lot can happen in a year, and perhaps I would miss something that would be worth much, much more than any sum of money.

I seen this on the twilight zone

fuck no!!

anyone else?

I'd be down for a quad

id hand over 3-4 years of my life, LETS DO IT!

Suprised so many yes's. I know it's a lot of money but you cant get the years of your life back

same with prison, but hey, atleast you get something good from this, and not a criminal record!

5 years, so long as the money is paid a;long the way each year and invested on my behalf.

;-)

wait.. i dont see how this has ANYTHING to do with prison

is that pre-taxed dollars? How would I get paid?

but a couple of years.

paid cash. no taxes

I would buy out the company who controls the freezing process and make a profit.

I"d give up 20 years

2 years... then I would be back before I turned 30 as a millionare! :)

2 years would do it.

I'd do a year or two...what happens when you are frozen though? Do you just go into a really long dream or what?

20 years? there goes your life..

Why did you choose $725K?

three... max

million seems too much

I don't think I'd do it at all.... not even one year.

Living life's where it's at. The money doesn't go with ya.

For you guys that say you'd do it, I wonder how much of your wealth you'd be willing to give back at the end of your life if you could just live one more healthy year.

blast from the past!

2 years probably

That is reasonable.
I was curious to see how much money meant to people.. would they give up their life for it

Probably 2 years over here too.

But how did you guys come up with that number exactly???

Random numbers, seemed about right

bring back this question
