Can you always commit suicide? If you've been awakened by an evil future
government that wants to do evil things with the smart brains of the
people who were smart enough to get themselves cryonically suspended,
you're not going to get an off button I'd think. Future governments
might indeed find a use for good working minds in "corpses" (ie:
redefining corpsicles as dead, so not accorded the rights of the
living). You know governments...
