Want to be like Han Solo?

Not really--Han Solo was frozen while alive.  But if you are interested in having your (future) dead body frozen in liquid nitrogen and have $28,000 to spare for the privilege, then by all means check out the Cryonics Institute!


They claim on their website that there will "inevitably" come a day when the world is free from all disease, aging, and death.

Lots of questions to consider here: Is it physically possible to bring a dead body/person back to life? (It's not physically possible now, but can it ever be?)  Would it be desirable to bring yourself back to life in 100 or 1000 years?  And what are the ethical implications of this sort of thing?
