# The correct scientific answer to the question "Does cryonics work?"…

*September 26, 2012 · Facebook*

The correct scientific answer to the question \"Does cryonics work?\" is: \"The clinical trials are in progress. Come back in a century and we\'ll give you a reliable answer.\" The relevant question for those of us who don\'t expect to live that long is: \"Would I rather be in the control group, or the experimental group?\" We are forced by circumstances to answer that question without the benefit of knowing the results of the clinical trials.\
