The human consciousness resides in the brain. The people who only have their head frozen will have to have some sort of new body grown for them. But the ability to safely unthaw a frozen head and give it a new body still remains in the future.

Your statement is highly speculative. That dosen't mean it is wrong, it just means that at this point we don't know whether it is correct or not. There are some in this area who believe that the body is so fully integrated with consciousness that the Williams experiment would be doomed to failure. If I were going to incur the expense of freezing myself I would freeze the whole body just to increase the odds a bit... :-)

I agree with you.

If I were to opt for cryonic suspension, I would have my whole body suspended instead of just my head.

Of course the brain is the most important part of the nervous system, but valuable memory and information may also be stored throughout the entire nervous system.

The assertion that the human consciousness resides not only in the brain, but also throughout the entire body may very well be true.

If it is true that Ted William's head is being frozen by Alcor, then I think the cost is about $50,000. Otherwise, I believe that Alcor charges over $120,000 for a full body suspension.
