I wasn't thinking about it TOO hard, just considering whether it would be a realistic option and weighing the pros and cons.

How far along is the research on bringing people back? What I found was general information and promises of future medicine potential, etc.

The future is nice to think about - I get caught up in it myself. But I'm wondering about tackling these things before they come up, or at least having a better understanding of it. I'm not a cryonicist.

I'm not a cryogenicist (sp?)

Cryonicist. Cryogenics is actually the practice of producing cold temperatures rather than freezing people. It's a common point of confusion.
