What a disgrace. I hope they go to jail!!
 This is one of the most unforgivable, disgraceful things I have ever read. How awful.
Used Ted Williams head for batting practice.

What gets me is that the premise of cryogenics was to freeze THE WHOLE BODY so that if a cure is found for the disease that the person died from, they could possibly be revivied.
You cut off the hea, all you have is a frozen head. What the hell, do they think in our current society, that we'll be able to transplant heads before we cure diseases? They should have just buried the man, the WHOLE MAN, and let him rest in peace.
Keep in mind that cryogenics is really just a fad. There is no proof that the person could be able to be revived, and whoever paid for the storage is just wasting money, plain and simple.
Keep in mind that science has not, and probably won't be able, to "reset" the body's cellular clock. That means that if you were to clone yourself, your clone would be born at a cellular age the same as you. That would mean the clone would age and die faster than a normal person.
Remember the cloned sheep "Dolly"? She died after a few years of old age.
If you revive a person from cryo, all you've done is prolong their death. You haven't given them a "fresh start".

It's a really sick story. I feel for the family who must have read about this...personally, I'd be out for blood.
But, I guess that's what KARMA is for.

I'd read a couple of years ago that Teddy Baseball's head had been "dropped" and had broken. I thought shattered would be more like it if frozen in liquid nitrogen. I never dreamed that incompetence would be trumped by out and out desecretation. What kind of numb, soulless folks are out there? Hell, Ted's own son tried to milk every dime he could from his father's legacy, up to and including selling his father's DNA. What a sad, sordid and sorry story the death of Ted Williams is....

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

That occured to me as well. I'd guess that this cryo-crapo stuff is one big scam. Some guy with a big barn and some expensive freezers raking it in. Hires some local derelics to put on lab coats and get stoned and bored in the middle of the night... |

The whole story since Ted died has been a joke !
The guy should have been cremated or buried in a grave like normal people !
If they did use his head for batting practice, I wonder if their batting average was near or over 400
