I don't know; "Potentially marginalized technologies: Consensus reality" is pretty special....

you should see the movie eXistenZ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120907/

Disturbing, yes. But keep in mind that there are warehouses out there with people's heads cryogenically frozen. So there's a line of people queuing up, waiting for it to happen. :)

That may be true, but I was under the impression that cryogenic thawing wasn't necessarily a foolproof operation. That would seem to be to be the first step.

I was under the impression that cryogenic thawing has never been done on that level (human head).

I've only ever heard of it being attempted on animals.

every time i hear cryogenics, i think of walt disney. i was surprised to find it is just urban legend.

"A long-standing urban legend maintains that Disney was cryogenically frozen, and his frozen corpse stored beneath the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.[102] In fact, Disney was cremated on December 17, 1966, and his ashes interred at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. The first known human cryogenic freezing did not occur until January 1967, more than a month after Disney's death.[102]"
