Review (in 1996):

"Cryonics is the ultra-low-temperature preservation of terminally-ill patients, as soon as possible after legal death". The goal of cryonics is to keep you in the back of the freezer (behind the strawberry jam, perhaps) until medical technology has advanced to a point where they can fix whatever killed you. But let's not be too flippant, because this page has lots of really fascinating info on molecular repair of the brain via nanotechnology and reversible logic (the body may be dead, but the information isn't necessarily gone), cryonics and overpopulation, Deism, and even cryo-humor.

Most of the information comes from offsite links, but Alcor will freeze you (they currently have 28 patients in suspension) for just over $100,000. (You can pay it affordably with a life insurance policy listing Alcor as the beneficiary.

Interestingly creepy.
