CryoNet:

The cover story for this month's Reader's Digest magazine ($2.99 USD 
suggested retail -- also see "Killer Space Rocks" on page 158) starts out as 
follows:

MIRACLE MEDICINE

THE NEW CURE FOR AGING

New Cures
new fears

The science, the hope, the risks.

"Even the Neanderthals believed that the body dies but the soul lives on.  
Now medicine could reverse that proposition.  Astounding breakthroughs offer 
a cure for aging that goes far beyond the crude cryogenics that turned Ted 
Williams, the Splendid Splinter, into the Incredible Icicle.  Is your heart 
failing?  Get a titanium and plastic replacement powered by lithium 
batteries.  Damaged lungs?  Lab-enhanced genes might restore your cells.  
Paralyzed?  A line is forming for the ultimate operation--your head on a 
healthy body.  Biomedicine promises miracles to defeat all sorts of diseases, 
if not death itself.  In this special report, you'll see what doctors can do 
today, and next month you'll preview the limitless future.  But at what point 
will a person running on battery packs and electronic wire become an eternal 
being--but not a human being? ..."


"The Digest is published in 48 editions
in 19 languages, in Braille, on cassette, and
in a Large Print for Easier Reading"
