命运号角

Second, they argue that once the revival of cryonics patients becomes a reality, the public’s conception of what a cryonics patient is and what she deserves will dramatically shift:
其次，他们认为一旦冷冻会员被复活，公众对冷冻会员的态度就会戏剧性地改变：

Long before it ever becomes possible to contemplate revival of today’s patients, reversible suspended animation will be perfected as a mainstream medical technology. From that point forward, the whole tradition of caring for people who cannot immediately be fixed will be strongly reinforced in culture and law. By the time it becomes possible to revive patients preserved with the oldest and crudest technologies, revival from states of suspended animation will be something that has been done thousands, if not millions, of times before. The moral and cultural imperative for revival when possible will be as basic and strong as the obligation to render first aid and emergency medical care today.
在讨论复活现在这些会员之前，可逆性的假死会被完善成主流医疗技术。再往前说，无法治愈的人会得到文化和法律的大力帮助。直到可以复活那些储存在最古老简陋技术的会员的时候，复活假死状态的事例早已发生上万上亿次。关于复活的道德和文化迫力将会和现今义务医疗急救一样普遍和坚实。

If a cryonics patient might seem to have the rights of a farm animal today, cryonicists expect that to become an outdated and primitive-seeming viewpoint down the road. They believe cryonics patients will be looked upon more like today’s coma patients.
如果冷冻会员有和农场动物一样的权力，冷冻专家希望这在以后会是过时又基础的观点，他们相信冷冻会员会被视为处于昏迷中的病人。

That sounds great, but of course, we have no idea how the future will play out or what the standing will be for the field of cryonics and its suspended patients. It does seem plausible, at least, that cryonics patients will end up with more and more rights in the future, not fewer and fewer. If that’s what happens, If 4 shouldn’t be much of a problem.
这听起来不错，但是我们不知道未来会怎么演变，冷冻领域会走向哪个方向发展。至少冷冻会员会有越来越多而不是越来越少的权力。这样的话条件4不是问题。
