  It's illegal to freeze someone until they're legally dead.  There's a case,
described in the FAQ, of someone with a terminal brain cancer which would
seriously damage his brain before it killed him, who wanted to be frozen
earlier, for obvious reasons.  I don't remember if that's been resolved yet.
If it has, he probably lost; most people still consider cryonicists to be
kooks.  That should change in the next 10 years or so.
