Thank you for this refreshing take-down of a thoroughly repulsive idea. Once, in a former life, when I was part of The Men Who Know, we tackled the immortality of Mickey Mouse, and that of course led us to comment on the everlasting cryogenic existence of Walt Disney himself. This is what we found: "Walt Disney suffered a career setback in 1966 when he was declared dead. Be that as it may, Walt hasn't hung up his crayon for good. It's whispered in fairy circles that he's in suspended animation, frozen like a meaty popsicle in a man-sized ice tray, deep in the bowels of Snow White's Castle. They say that some day his prince will come and mix him with a glass of monosodium glutamate, and he'll be sucked back into the real world like a throbbing pot noodle in a flavour you never expected."
I loved this, Heather...thank you! I'm fascinated by why people want to be frozen in the hope of resurrection - it just seems nuts &, if I'm honest, a bit arrogant. Thank you for another fantastic Sunday morning read - I'm now off to read me some Ettinger...xx

It's fascinating isn't it? I'm so glad other people find this interesting and not just me!
Omg loved this! And totally want to read a story about the forgotten frozen bodies that start waking up 😭😬
Now THAT'S an idea...
If only I knew a writer who was into this kind of thing 🤔
