    Stupid architects...life is already TOO long. You need a facility devoted to making life shorter and getting the world's population down. Put your heads together!

    I get his point about freezing endangered species, but how is preserving religious leaders supposed to save us from religious lunatics? I mean, unless he's advocating freezing them all RIGHT NOW to minimize the amount of damage they can inflict on society?

    This just isn't going to make it. The building is supposedly safe from physical harm, but not from financial ruin or that those in the future will give a damn to defrost you.

    This seems unfortunate timing, coming on the heels of "Ted Williams' frozen head clobbered with monkey wrench".

    Bad week for frozen things.

    I'm all for preserving endangered species, but did you say "undeath?" Because I've got 13 words for you: "I didn't come to 'Nam to get eaten by no frakking zombie tiger!"

    Its a good idea, but I'm not sure its more effective then burying multiple copys of everything in random mountines and glacers.
    Look at what works for natural preservation and replicate it.

    my cat of 6 years died last month.... we had to put him to sleep and i suggested at the vet, while in tears, that we cryogenically freeze him just in case they figure out a way to save him...


    and the doctor and his assistant starting CRACKING UP... while I was in tears.... insensitive bastards.

    Well, ever since I started reading Larry Niven, with his Stasis Fields, I can't even think about Cryogenics.

    @Gann: Amen. If we get the size and cost down, it'll make flying in coach bearable. Bonus: You won't care that there's no meals anymore, you won't care about the 2 hour delay, and you won't see a gremlin tearing apart the engine during a thunderstorm.
