How can a legally dead person have a valid contract for cryopreservation ?
Although legally dead people do not have contractual rights, living people can make valid contracts for the disposition of their human remains. The wishes a person stipulates for disposition of their remains are usually honored by courts. The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act provides a vehicle for a cryonics organization to “own” the body of the cryonics patient when the organization has been named as the recipient of the whole-body anatomical donation.
