and one day I’ll get around to signing up
Britney Spears is considering having herself cryogenically frozen after she’s died so she can be brought back to life at some point in the future. The star has reportedly become obsessed with the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, who preserve people’s bodies in liquid nitrogen. She’s apparently set to donate $350,000 into the company (The Sun).
Has anyone made sure Britney Spears knows about the New Yorker tumblr?
Don’t worry — Jill Lepore’s lazy exposé was about the down-market, Michigan-based Cryonics Institute, not the pricier and, if the consensus view is to be trusted, more reputable Arizona-based Alcor. Britney is in good hands.
Just so we’re all clear on this: cryonics isn’t stupid. Quite the contrary. (#, # (which admittedly has some worrisome scare quotes in the title))
