Would you ever consider being cooled to the point where decomposition stops or would you chose this for a family member, hoping that technology in the future will warrant more options? A show is coming up about Cryonics this Friday. Is it fact or fiction?-----------------------------------------------------------www.infidelguy.com Show this Friday 10/01/04 @ 8PM ET: "Cryonics: Science or Science Fiction?"* Robert C.W. Ettinger is considered by many to be the founding father of Cryonics, publishing the first book on the subject with "The Prospect of Immortality" in 1964.He has since authored further books on Cryonics and is currently the Vice-President and Director of "The Cryonics Institute". Cryonics is a technique designed with the intent to save lives and overcome illness and suffering. It involves cooling patients to the point where physical decay essentially stops, in the hope that future technologies will be able to revive them and restore them to good health later on. A patient held in such a state is said to be in 'cryonic suspension'.
