Cryonics-also known as cryopreservation or cryosuspension-is the
preservation of legally dead individuals at ultra-low temperatures.
Those who undergo this procedure hope that future technology will
not only succeed in reviving them, but also cure them of the
condition that led to their demise. In this sense, some hope that
cryopreservation will allow people to continue living indefinitely.
This book discusses the moral concerns of cryonics, both as a
medical procedure and as an intermediate step toward life
extension. In particular, Minerva analyses the moral issues
surrounding cryonics-related techniques (including the hypothetical
cryosuspension of fetuses as an alternative to abortion) by
focusing on how they might impact the individuals who undergo
cryosuspension, as well as society at large.
