HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- A judge has ruled the medical examiner may perform an autopsy on a man who wished to be kept frozen after he died.

In 2005, Michael Miller signed documents with Alcor to freeze his body. Alcor, a non-profit organization in California, is the same company baseball legend Ted Williams used to preserve his body.

Miller, a Navy Veteran, wanted to be cryogenically preserved in hopes he could be brought back to life one day when medicine made some advances.

Experts claim by freezing the body, they can preserve vital organs and keep the body "biologically alive."
Miller even wore a bracelet expressing his wishes.

Yeah, because I want the same company accused of desecrating the frozen body of Ted Williams, treating his head like a baseball and using his liver as a hockey puck, to be in charge of a corpse... Why people spend hundreds of thousands for this 'treatment' is beyond my understanding.

1. Mine too, sometimes, but it's their decision, full stop. (nt)

2. They want a shot at living forever -- at least much longer.

And if the "treatment" ultimately worked, they would wake up in a society into which they would have no idea how to fit and that probably wouldn't want them, anyway.
