Same.

They are actually aluminum cans, wired down lids, patient information
riveted on, copy of paperwork stuffed in with the patient.

Compared with repairing the damage we know freezing (and death)
causes, knitting a body off the stump of the neck looks relatively
easy.  After all, every cell in your body has the complete instruction
for growing a body.

I am not trying to sell you on cryonics.  You need to do that yourself
and it takes an awful lot of background.  Mine came from reviewing
several drafts of Drexler's book.  (On the other hand, when Alcor had
only a couple of hundred members about 1/3rd of them traced their
interest through me.)
