From AFP --" Some well-heeled Russians hoping for immortality are ready to pay a fortune to have their brains frozen when they die, until future technology allows them to continue their lives when the organs are transplanted into a new bodies and resuscitated." See the video.
Are you kidding? Would any body who is using his brain spend $10K to have their brains frozen to be thawed out in a zillion years? Will their be a habitable planet earth in a hundred years? Check with BP on that one. Let's suppose there is a planet earth in a few years down the road and around the bend, can anybody who hasn't bumped their head count on their frozen brains being thawed out and transplanted into a mechanical body? This sounds like something P.T. Barnum would have schemed, before he went legit. In the days when the motto he lived by was -- "A sucker's born every minute."
