En t'attendant: l'espoir figé

It's a very sad story but left me a bit empty, perhaps because we never really got to know the little girl while she was alive. The journey is mostly a scientific one concerning cryogenics and whether we will ever be able to restore meaningful life after death. Of course, the irony of this particular story is that the father, himself a devoted scientist, is unable to face the most natural and inevitable biological event known to man...death. Yes, losing your child is the ultimate heartbreaking event. Of course it is. We all fear it more than anything else. I do not presume to judge this family but I will say that I felt their son had been inadvertently forced into an inability to move on and have a joyful life. I empathized the most with him.
