Great article! It had almost all the main ideas about
cryonics, except it did not mention life insurance.  I
especially liked the ending:


"Fans, however, are not allowed. Those who want to see
Williams must wait for
the comeback. They might take heart in the knowledge
that coming back was a
specialty of "The Kid."

"He was always coming back," John Updike wrote in a
famous 1965 tribute.

"Back from Korea, back from a broken collarbone, a
shattered elbow, a
bruised heel, back from drastic bouts of flu and
ptomaine poisoning. Hardly
a season went by without some enfeebling mishap, yet
he always came back,
and always looked like himself.""

Well, now on to more important matters: whether or not
a nuclear-powered uploaded cloned copy of myself, when
revived in the year 2545 AD, would actually be myself.
 I believe it would be, due to the quantum swing
evidenced by the following logical equation:

 A * dy/dx = sin xy dy, where A = the hyperbolic value
of pure thought in vacuum.

Therefore, res ipsa geek, I will live forever.
