Zeritsky's Law

An odd household accident in which a frozen pet is later revived prompts two entrepreneurial brothers to convert industrial freezers into a paid service for preserving and later reviving people. Their firm builds lucrative anonymity, sets strict advance-payment rules, and adapts prices over time, attracting criminals and clients seeking to postpone trouble or extend opportunity. Vivid anecdotes show the legal gray areas, the hardships of those who miscalculate their returns, and the founders' steady pursuit of profit. The account satirically traces how a bizarre technique becomes an established industry and raises practical and ethical questions about suspended life and commerce.
