Description: Horror stories of cryonics: The gruesome fates of futurists. For decades people have arranged to freeze their bodies after death, dreaming of resurrection by advanced future medicine. The first "cryonauts" met gruesome fates. A few of them decomposed into a "plug of fluids" and were scraped off the bottom of a capsule.
