Ralph Johnson suffered from a terminal illness:

  “My client wishes for cryopreservation while he’s still alive, to be awakened in the future when a cure’s available,” said Ralph’s lawyer to the company.

  “This is unheard of! We only freeze the deceased.”

  Ralph’s lawyer displayed a large sum of money.

  After an unknown passage of time:

  Ralph awoke lying on a bed in a bright white clinical room.

  “Where am I? ... When am I?”

  “Mr. Johnson, what year did you enter cryosleep?” asked a voice.

  “2034. Why?

  ”You see!”—interjected another voice. “A primitive! Violent and disease-prone, terminate it now!”
