Your email affected me and reminded me of some of my own losses. My father passed away many years ago before I became aware and involved in the cryonics/immortality movement. I am reasonably sure that if he had lived a little longer, and had learned about the options we do have to preserve our bodies after deanimation, he probably wouldn't have been cremated. But unfortunately things don't always work out the way we want them to. If it's any solace to you, I do think you may one day see your son again. There are several writers (Mike Perry as an example) who believe that deceased individuals who have not been preserved through cryonics may still be brought back to life. The arguments are long, and somewhat controversial, but if you want I can get some further information for you. And if it is physically possible, rest assured that there will be many people (hopefully myself included) who will spend all of our immortal lives looking for a way to bring these people back from non-existence. An immortal future is a right that everyone is entitled to, and there are a number of us who will do everything we can to try and make this right a reality.
