The article…also said Williams’ head was shaved, drilled with holes and accidentally cracked 10 times.
Normally, decapitating someone and dropping the head into a vat of liquid nitrogen would be considered a way of ending life, not extending it.
I’m surprised that I haven’t received any spam yet from “life extension” companies. After Viagra pills, penis enlargement and Nigerian scams, that could be the next big thing.
Ah shit. Another setback for cryogenics.
Here’s hoping the Singularity arrives before I need to look into such matters.
ummm I’m looking into getting my head pickled in a jar… this should preserve my brain until visiting aliens can re-body and de-pickle my head.
:P
We all know that the reviving process would just turn into a Lovecraftian nightmare of unimaginable horror, either way.
I was thinking along the same lines, but not Lovecraftian.
More like… decades (Clevian timeline) or thousands/millions of years from now, long after humanity is dead or evolved far beyond recognition, someone discovers your frozen body and can revive you.
Welcome to the lab, Mr. Rat.

And then the twisted remnants of your antediluvian mind would rage at the perversion you’ve become and destroy the terrific civilization you’ve ended up in.

Sort of like Iron Man, but travelling forward, not backward, and you wouldn’t be destroying your own civilization. So really, not at all like Iron Man.
But you might end up with a cool robot buddy a a hot purple-haired cyclops girlfriend!
And deep down, isn’t that every man’s dream?
