| Sep 10, 2019 at 15:18 | comment | added | Christopher Hostage | The question assumes "companies" and "life insurance packages". A religion or state could handle it instead. See "Lord of Light" by Zelazny for some of the problems that come up with that. | |
| Sep 10, 2019 at 14:47 | comment | added | Based | You want to know how to prevent the cheapening of death by a resurrection system, but the title asks how a resurrection system can prevent the cheapening of death. | |
| Sep 10, 2019 at 13:34 | comment | added | Corey | Ooh, so if I'm rich enough I can take a year (and a half) off dead for tax purposes? :P Or better, I could spend most of the next 100 years dead. Wake up ever 18 months, evaluate the current state of the world, give some instructions then back in the vat for the next 18 months. I could stretch this out for centuries. | |

| Sep 10, 2019 at 9:39 | comment | added | Grimm The Opiner | GoT had the idea of repeatedly resurrected people (Beric Dondarrrion, IIRC) realising that they're "less than they were", not everything comes back. Also, politically powerful people would be aghast at losing 1.5 years of influence, who knows what world they might come back to. The expense could also be in terms other than outright wealth, weird requests for odd pieces of property or exacted promises that sometimes/often turn out to be devastatingly important. | |

Life insurance is an existent term that means something completely different

| Sep 9, 2019 at 9:26 | comment | added | Tomáš Zato | So if you died of a disease, your body is restored in diseased state and you die again? | |
| Sep 9, 2019 at 8:01 | comment | added | Nahyn - support Monica Cellio | "During that time, the physical body is regrown over the soul, ending in the exact condition that the person was before they died" How much time before they died ? Seconds ? Minutes ? Hours ? Or the person need to go through a process to create a "checkpoint" | |

| Sep 9, 2019 at 4:51 | comment | added | somebody | same as cloning - data corruption and/or insufficient technology complexity :P - data corruption is easily fixed by having multiple copies, unless... it's quantum data, which can't be copied anywhere near completely. re: complexity - it's an entire human body after all. maybe there are... errors that need to be ironed out for another <x> years before the body is ready for resurrection again. maybe... there are rumors of Google collecting data from bodies undergoing reconstruction :P or some shady activity (pirated copies of someone else's body? who knows). i guess these are more deterrents tho | |

| Sep 8, 2019 at 14:31 | comment | added | elemtilas | For the uberwealthy among the strong Materialists, I don't really see how this process can but cheapen death. After all, if you can suspend the soul and vat grow a new body around it, you've essentially created a situation where physical death is no longer a concept. It's been cured. My question is: why & how would an insurance company even be involved? Life insurance is simply a lump sum of cash paid after one dies, having already paid the premiums. There, in your world, this model doesn't make sense at all, for those who can afford it. | |
