On Ice

This has to be the most bizarre sports story of recent times. The Boston Globe reports that Ted Williams's son is having his father's body cryogenically frozen. You have to wonder if Mr. Williams senior agreed to this. Somehow I doubt it. From what I've heard about him in all the recent eulogies, he doesn't sound like the type.

Cryogenics is a scam in my opinion. Even if the body could be reanimated somehow, someday, through some unknown technology, would the mind still function? Would it be the "same" person, or more like a clone? I just find the whole thing morbid and nauseating.
