reassemble the world's most complicated machine: the human body (Epstein 16)."

Cryonics is the practice of freezing human bodies in the hope that one day, it is possible to revive these people and restore them back to health. Although this idea may seem strange and unworkable at first, cryonics is nevertheless practiced today by several groups of quite rational people in the United States (Harris 20).

Through freezing and/or dehydration, the life functions of certain living organisms can be halted by being put into full suspended animation. Later, the organism can be revived at the scientist's leisure (Tompkins 1B). Many different cells and tissues can be

frozen in liquid nitrogen at nearly absolute zero (Settles). "In the frozen state, there is no metabolism; the machine has stopped, life has stopped." Recently, it has been demonstrated that certain tissues can even be freeze-dried without damage and stored at room temperature on a shelf (Harris 21). A

A femoral bypass is then conducted at a proper facility. The femoral artery and the vein in the leg are opened and hooked up to a pump. The entire vascular system of the patient is then flushed (Morgan 53). The blood is washed out completely and replaced

"For thousands of years, mankind has been conditioned to accept death," said Ettinger, "I grew up expecting that one day old age would be preventable and reversible (Epstein 17)."

there is a real possibility of loss of esteem from nearly everyone: Religious folk are likely to view cryonics as a sort of mortuarial Tower of Babel and there might even be loss of esteem from socially conscious freethinkers again because that money could have gone to
