<DIV>> Unfortunately the conventional wisdom is cryonic suspension is entirely purse-emptying </DIV>
<DIV>> rather than in any way life-extending. Absolutely no one I've talked to outside of immortalists </DIV>
<DIV>> think anyone can ever be reanimated. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is just plain silly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Even if all science says you can't be "brought back", it's still a better shot than being preserved and buried the normal way.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is absolutely no way, now, to eliminate the possibility that technology may, someday, be able to reconstruct a human being even down to the microcellular level, even if the original model is a frozen head with all of its cells shatteredy by ice crystals.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I think we can safely eliminate any chance of reconstructing someone who was buried in a cemetary.</DIV>
