But talk about money -- it costs up to $150,000 to have your body cryogenically frozen, according to Ethic Soup blog. And then at Alcor, where Ted's remains remain, it costs aroudn $400 a month. That monthly bill goes on for f*#...ever, since they claim it will take atleast several generations before science can catch up with the reviving part of the dream. By then, everyone left hanging in Alcor's 10-foot-tall, stainless steel containers will have outstanding debt. Jeez, up until now, when you died you could tell yourself "well,at least I'll will no longer owe anyone money!" The Ethic Soup post on Ted's head is good, with some interesting photos: http://www.ethicsoup.com/2009/10/cryogenics-tellall-book-ted-williams-head-repeatedly-abused.html Ted’s son couldn’t very well pay any outstanding debt, since he died two years after Ted.
