I read with interest the posts on CryoNet that science fiction authors Joe

Haldeman and Frederick Pohl are not signed up for cryonics.  Makes me wonder, 
does

anyone know  Arthur C. Clarke's opinion on cryonics. In his book, 3001: THE 
FINAL
ODYSSEY, he writes of astronaut Frank Poole being reanimated, and mentions
downloading and nanotechnology, very similar to stuff we are familiar with
already. But he also writes in 3001 that immortality has not been achieved yet
(but how could we ever know about that for sure, forever is a long time ).
It would be a shame to lose him.

Best Regards,
