Is this cheaper than what it would cost to buy a pizza once a month? That is approximately the cost to sign up now for a full body suspension with the Cryonics Institute. IF you can find someone to do a permafrost burial (I COULDN'T and I LOOKED!), I don't believe the out-of-pocket is less than the CI alternative either. Why settle for less than what you want if the price is so little? See http://www.cryonics.org for the specifics. -George Smith Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=11499
