Follow-up on Ted Williams’ cryonic freezing: Wired.com has a story on the technology involved in the freezing of bodies. Apparently, there is little guarantee that the thawing process will work, as cells are usually irreparably damaged by the freezing. That hasn’t deterred people from shelling out as much as $120,000 to be frozen upon their death, though. I think the funniest comment is from Kenneth B. Storey, a biochemistry professor: “Two hundred years from now, will 10 billion people on Earth really want to thaw out a bunch of rich Americans?”
