It's pretty sad what greed will motivate people to do.

Since Ted Williams has died, hasn't his soul gone to Heaven?

Let's say (for the sake of arguement) that Alcor is successful in bringing Ted back to life in the future when the means to safely thaw a person and cure their illness will be available.

If such an attempt is successful, won't Ted William's soul be yanked from Heaven and put back into his repaired body?

However, no one has been able to freeze a body and bring it back to life.

I know Someone who can bring a body back to life---forever!

Dang! I already sold my Ted Williams baseball card!

Rumor is that Ted William's final instructions were that he was to be brought back to life after the Red Sox won the World Series.

He figured that by the time that happened every disease known to mankind would have been cured and he could be immortal. ;-)

Ferrell's husband, Mark, said John Henry said that Alcor would freeze Williams's head for around $50,000.

Freeze his head only? If that is the extent of it, then there is no intention to bring him back to life - only to preserve DNA.

Happy Birthday Mr.President!

Don't miss this one.

"Freezing a body in hopes of bringing someone back to life is known as cryogenics."

Umm... actually, it's not. This process is known as cryonics. Cryogenics is a general term pertaining to the science of low-temperature physics, of which cryonics might be considered a specialized branch. Poor editing job by the newspaper.

A Tedsicle!

Probably by the time they figure out how to revive a dead body and give them new body parts, we all will recieve our new, gloried bodies. Well, at least for those of us planning on a cool eternity.
