For high-risk propositions yielding high returns, there is nothing to beat the handful companies marketing eternal life. (31) the perceived rewards of being able to come hack to life (32) some point, the risks are huge: Who would want to chance a repeat of disco or Victorian mores, let (33) more meaningless millennium hype in 2999?

On the other hand, if cryonics (37), you were already dead anyway.
(38) it comes from the same root, kryos, the Greek word for cold, cryonics is not to be (39) with the mainstream sciences of cryogenics or cryobiology. These involve freezing of metals or of simple organisms. Metals get stronger (40) deep freezing, while the freezing and thawing of cancerous tissues can be a good way (41) kill it.

The goal is to freeze a human head or an entire body (43) the technology exists to do one of the following: graft a new body (44) the head, clone a new person (45) preserved DNA, or heal a sick body that has been preserved.

(48) as beer left to freeze will eventually cause its container to burst, (49) the ice that forms adds extra pressure, (50) frozen cells can risk being punctured when the liquid in them freezes.
