Default Cryonics

After reading about the words oldest people I stumbled on to Cryonics... sort of freezing yourself after you die to be resurrected later with uber technology.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryonics

pretty interesting read, and i think i'll probably end up freezing myself after I die.

Thoughts? O_O~?

Remember, when the state police are after you, the Orgasmatron is probably not the best place to hide.

wasn't there a story recently about the guy who started the whole freezing thing having the power go out in the holding building so that he (or his parents or something?) were actually unfrozen?

Yeah, but it will be like Judge Dredd where you don't actually get to touch the chicks, it is all computer generated.
