According to a new book, The Mummy Congress: Science, Obsession and the Everlasting Dead , techies make up a large percentage of those who have signed up for cryonic suspension, an experimental procedure used to preserve legally dead bodies in the hopes that future medical breakthroughs will allow them to be brought back to life. Those who have opted for cryonic suspension will be packed in ice as soon as they die. Soon after, their body fluids will be replaced with a glycerin-based solution that acts as a kind of anti-freeze. Their flesh will be cooled with liquid nitrogen to minus-320 degrees Fahrenheit, and their bodies will then be

It has a lot to do with the Town of Nederland and the Nederland Chamber of Commerce. ...and there's a year round Information Center in Ned for souvenirs of the Frozen Dead Guy Days festival (see below). The Chamber's site has all the information on upcoming FDGDaze.....in it's seventh year now, and drawing over 5,000 people. It has a big connection to Norway, as the Grandson of the FDG, Trygve , lives there with his Mother, Aud (FDG's Daughter). They are the ones responsible for maintaining the financials and managing from afar. Trygve was deported in 1994 and has not set foot in the US since. Aud has visited...once.

87. Cryonic Suspension
    By Henry Kluytmans, a Dutch cryonicist. 5 printed pages.  
    http://www.dse.nl/~hkl/e_cryo.htm
    
    Extractions: This is a concept which arose out of rational scientific thinking, this is no pseudoscience. First I have to destroy a misconception. The purpose of cryonic suspension is not to transport a healthy person to the future, where he continues his life unaltered. Cryonic suspension is intended for people who don't want their lives ended, forced by natural causes. People who do not want to accept the short standard life expectation imposed on them by natural evolution. It is clear that, in the not all to far future, the human life expectancy will be extended with a considerable amount. The same technology used for that purpose will also make it feasible to recover people from cryonic suspension, after which they can continue their lives, however with the prospect of a much longer and healthier life.

92. Can Cryopreservation Solve "The Abortion Problem"?
    A thoughtful article by Thomas Gramstad which examines the social implications of preserving aborted embryos. From Longevity Report.  
    http://www.ifi.uio.no/~thomas/po/cryobortion.html
    
    Extractions: Thomas Gramstad Longevity Report No 79, September 2000 Could cryopreservation solve or defuse the political conflicts surrounding abortion, by giving both sides what they want? Can abortion strife be replaced by "cryobortion" peace? This idea has been proposed by people in the cryonics community, most recently by Daniel Ust. The idea is to get "Right to Life" anti-abortionists to support abortion by having aborted fetuses cryopreserved rather than destroyed or "killed". If one can gain support for this idea, suggest its defenders, one could defuse a very deep conflict in Western societies. This could also be a test case or showcase for cryonics technology. I believe the answer to this question is no and yes, respectively. Because there really are two questions involved. The first question is about the relationship between morality and technology. This is the "no"-part of the answer, because technology cannot really alter the moral issues involved in abortion, it can only expand the range of possible choices. That is, new technology cannot obliterate, override, or curtail existing individual rights. Everyone still has full sovereignty and exclusive rights to decide over one's own body and all its parts. This includes the right to remove and destroy a body part, such as an embryo or a fetus. The second question, with the "yes"-part of the answer, is about the relationship between politics and technology. Cryopreservation technology opens up a new set of possibilities for the abortion-seeking woman, possibilities which are, or ought to be, palatable for (rational) anti-abortionists.

96. FROZEN DEAD GUY DAYS Nederland Area Chamber Of Commerce
    The official site of a winter festival held annually in march in the mountain town of Nederland, Colorado. A bit weird, since the Nederlands city government actively worked to oust Bredo Morstoel (the frozen dead guy ) from their town several years ago. But there he still sits, now the frozen centerpiece of a festival.

    Extractions: Grandpa Bredo's been on ice for 20 years now, still awaiting reanimation in his Tuff Shed and Nederland is once again planning a grand celebration of winter life with Frozen Dead Guy Days. This year's festival is going to be the best yet with live music all three days in the Reanimate Yourself tent and beer garden, a parade of hearses, ice carving demonstration, Harvest House Medicinals coffin races, frozen Salmon tossing, icy turkey bowling and Sunday Local Funday with great kid activities. Nederland's main street will be transformed into a pedestrian mall so revelers can enjoy street performers and participate in brain freezing and frozen t-shirt contest or sit and enjoy a Grandpa' Spirit (specialty vodka drink) in the Brain Freezer music and vendor tent. And it will all be filmed by TBS a prominent Japanese television station, for one of Japan's most popular reality show.
