Techies On Ice: The Coming Age of Cryonics

Frozen dinner writes: "SiliconValley.com is running a great article about technology workers' fascination with cryonics. From the article: "[the] otherworldly possibility of life after death [tantalizes] techies of all stripes -- mathematicians, physicists, software developers, computer programmers -- who make up a vast majority of those who have signed up for cryonics suspension. The family feud over deep-freezing baseball slugger Ted Williams has only intensified interest in cryonics in Silicon Valley and in the greater Bay Area, already a hotbed for the experimental and controversial process.""

Re:death is a legal construct, not physical fact

That's a happy thought, and a interesting argument, but death is in fact a physical fact: who's buried in Grant's tomb? Walk around the nearest cemetary if you need further convincing. Make no mistake: you will die. Not only that, but after you die, irrevocibly, you will face judgement.
