Say someone living close by died and they had opted for cryonic freezing in their will and had been cryonically frozen. I know that cryonic freezing is considered on par with burial or cremation for legal purposes even though unlike those things people who use it are hoping future technology will allow them to live. Would the news report that the person's body was frozen, even just tucked away in the obituary section or would it be kept private?
Just wondering because that would be freaky if someone I knew died and then decades down the road I ran into them again(at the same age they were when they died). It'd be kind of cool and if we were friends I'd be glad to see him/her again but it would be freaky. It would be especially freaky if you got a call from child services requesting you become your childhood friend's legal guardian!
Cryogenics refers to the production of very low temperatures and is usually used to describe the cooling of metal. Cryonics refers to freezing people and animals in a way as to preserve them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryonics
