Your message made me think to the remains of the paleolithic man found
frozen in the Alps.

In fact, it is true that even in such scenarios at the very least the
DNA of the individual concerned is preserved.

This may not be much in terms of "immortality", but, hey,. we are not
discussing cryonic procedures paid by the National Health Service.

Why should one who can choose to be embalmed not be allowed to choose
to be frozen instead?
