I don't think that would do anything to intimidate terrorists, but it would be the most humane death penalty I think I've ever heard.Fancy_Pollux wrote:

Please refrain from using fail when you obviously don't know what you're talking about...unless, of course, the "/fail" was directed at yourself.Ottomania wrote:

Effectively he's right though, because we don't have the technology to flash freeze them properly or bring them out of it without killing them.Fancy_Pollux wrote:

Taken from Wikipeida:
Cryopreservation, is a process where cells or whole tissues are preserved by cooling to low sub-zero temperatures, such as (typically) -80°C or -196°C (the boiling point of liquid nitrogen). At these low temperatures, any biological activity, including the biochemical reactions that would lead to cell death is effectively stopped.
We have the technology to flash freeze them, but we don't have the technology to undo the damage caused by that freezing. That is irrelevant though, because we won't be thawing them out.jonsimon wrote:

Either that or actually provide them with 72 virgins so they don't have to go blowing themselves up.Fancy_Pollux wrote:

There you go. If we could convince them that 72 women, virgins or not, would be hell, they wouldn't do it. Especially if we could convince them that the women would be on the rag for all eternity.Pyrri wrote:
72 virgins... Wouldn't that be punishment enough?

They would then blow themselves up and get 72 more virgins.CameronPoe wrote:

No, they would blow themselves up to get away from those 72 virgins, only to get 72 more virgins. And from then on, the vicious cycle would continue. A hellish eternity of fruitless suicide.Miller wrote:

Point taken, however are they truly alive when they're frozen? Their body is 'healthy' as such, but are they conscious in any way? Somehow I don't think so.Fancy_Pollux wrote:
