I actually live about a mile from the Cryogenics lab in the article that states it was in Arizona before it moved to California. As far as I know, most people that do submit themselves to crygogenics do not do so with their entire body. Though it's possible, I've been told that it will take even longer to figure out how to restart a body then it will to do so with just a brain. So most (at least in AZ) get their brain frozen.

where did you hear this? from what ive read restoration of the body would be pretty simple... it might not even be necessary because advances in cloning and body part restoration will allow the construction of a new "host". my reasoning behind freezing my entire body is that more preserved the better my chances are of being revived in the future. still better than rotting in the ground or sitting in a urn

As per what you and Joe are arguing about, it's hard to set the body in a completely 'frozen' state (meaning immobile, not cold). Whereas you'd try to preserve every single organ, as well as the necessary fluids to keep it operable, you'd only have to work on freezing the brain and the stem.

Full body preservation involves the separation of the head/body, the two are cryonically stored separately.

I know. I guess the main reason I'd want just my brain frozen is I'd probably be quite old when I die. I'd want a young body, not some old wrinkly asian.

I've already set it up so they donate all organs needed when I die

That's what I went with... either to save someone, or to do research. I'll be dead, I don't need them.
