Dutchman Dirk Jan wants to be frozen in America to live forever: “Why not?”

There is life after death. Not in heaven, but just here on earth. At least, that is the firm belief of Dirk Jan Buter from Zwolle in the Netherlands. If he dies, he wants to be frozen in America — 263 people have already been frozen at the Cryonics Institute — until science can bring him back to life. “As a human being you have more control over this than you do over heaven.” Will that ever become a reality? How does freezing work? And what does Dirk Jan pay for it?
