An implanted computer chip will record every thought. Another will monitor any DNA alterations in the body. When the body/mind shuts down the information will be transmitted to an information center. Stored. Kept on file until the mind/body is placed on the list for restructuring. We will be back in life at the moment we left.(Of course body needs and mental clutter will be restored to maximum settings.)

How long will our info be on the waiting list? Until something about our existence triggers interest. (It's why we all seek our 15 minutes of fame. It improves our chances in the future of jumping up on the list.)

Cryogenics is the hugest sham on the planet earth. Dear god, I wish I would have thought about it first. I'd be rich.

  no kidding. I wonder what happens after the cryogenically frozen celebrity's last near relative dies. Do they just auction off the frozen head on e-bay?

Actually immortality is statistically impossible due to a probability of being in a fatal accident.. however low it may be, forever is a very very long time!

human immortality is an oxymoron. If one is immortal, can they truly be human?
