Legal loophole may help company freeze people alive

In pursuit of life everlasting, some turn to Dog. Others turn to science. Or rather, something science-ish.
If you’ve ever hoped to be cryogenically frozen, you might come across a legal hurdle: while human cryonics is legal in several countries, you have to be dead before going into the cryonics tank. Otherwise, freezing someone alive is tantamount to murder. So, as it is, you can only get your dead body or head frozen—and when thawed, you’d still be dead.

In one study released in late October by the Pew Research Center, Americans were found to have become increasingly partisan in their views. On issues as diverse as health care, immigration, race and sexuality, Americans today hold more extreme and more divergent views than they did a decade ago.

The leader of a polygamous Mormon cult was arrested last week when U.S. law enforcement officials stormed the American fugitive’s ranch in northern Mexico.

An unidentified woman and her daughter jumped off a local Indian train Saturday to escape a group of men attempting to harm the young girl.
