Quote from James Moer

Ice because if you freeze and in the near future years someone finds you, and you are still frozen they can unfreeze you and make you alive again with some sort of techonology. Because your organs are still intact and can start working again, they were frozen and no bacteria infected it.

Quote from Carteana

Hmm, some interesting theories but the general idea I was trying to communicate is that...

*Burning would be more painful, but quicker

*Freezing would be less painful, but slower

So which one would you pick?

freez cuz i cud b lik a cave man that is found by a guy frozen!!!111!!

Uh, try putting your hand in a fire for five seconds.

Quote from Kitsune

Burn to death. The nerves will go first, from what I've read. The freezing will kill the nervous system slower, making you suffer more.

Freezing, no thank you.

Normal body temperature in humans is 37°C. Hypothermia can be divided in three stages of severity.

In stage 1, body temperature drops by 1-2°C below normal temperature (35-38°C). Mild to strong shivering occurs.[1][2] The victim is unable to perform complex tasks with the hands; the hands become numb. Blood vessels in the outer extremities constrict, lessening heat loss to the outside air. Breathing becomes quick and shallow. Goose bumps form, raising body hair on end in an attempt to create an insulating layer of air around the body (which is of limited use in humans due to lack of sufficient hair, but useful in other species). Often, a person will experience a warm sensation, as if they have recovered, but they are in fact heading into Stage 2. Another test to see if the person is entering stage 2 is if they are unable to touch their thumb with their little finger; this is the first stage of muscles not working.

In stage 2, body temperature drops by 2-4°C. Shivering becomes more violent. Muscle mis-coordination becomes apparent.[1][2][3] Movements are slow and labored, accompanied by a stumbling pace and mild confusion, although the victim may appear alert. Surface blood vessels contract further as the body focuses its remaining resources on keeping the vital organs warm. The victim becomes pale. Lips, ears, fingers and toes may become blue.

In stage 3, body temperature drops below approximately 32 °C (89.6 °F). Shivering usually stops.[1][2] Difficulty speaking, sluggish thinking, and amnesia starts to appear; inability to use hands and stumbling is also usually present. Cellular metabolic processes shut down. Below 30 °C (86.0 °F), the exposed skin becomes blue and puffy, muscle coordination becomes very poor, walking becomes almost impossible, and the victim exhibits incoherent/irrational behavior including terminal burrowing or even a stupor. Pulse and respiration rates decrease significantly but fast heart rates (ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation) can occur. Major organs fail. Clinical death occurs. Because of decreased cellular activity in stage 3 hypothermia, the body will actually take longer to undergo brain death.

Freezing to death, while may take long is much much MUCH less painful. You basically just become numb and fall asleep.
