Trygve, here's a question for you: "When does cryonics become 'not cryonics'?

In other words, at what point, in the disintegration of a human body, in your mind, does it become impossible to subject that body to "cryonic suspension".

If you think Alcor's freezing cell samples to preserve DNA is "cryonics', you'd be wrong, by the way. That's called "biostasis" and means that biological material is being stabilized. But that's NOT cryonics.

Define, in your own words, "cryonic suspension". And then describe several examples of how that definition applies to someone just seconds after legal death is declared, then hours, days and months. Where does your definition CEASE to be "cryonics"-- and become MERELY "biostasis"?
