Larry Johnson has a bone to pick with Alcor. The author and former COO of Alcor Life Extension Foundation is coming out with a new book, "Frozen: My Journey Into the World of Cryonics, Deception and Death" that he says details the gruesome world of cryogenic freezing, where bodies or sometimes just heads are suspended at freezing temperatures in the hope that future technologies will one day be able to revive the dead.
