More looking into the legal status of frozen embryos turns up:
We conclude that preembryos are not, strictly speaking, either “persons” or “property,” but occupy an interim category that entitles them to special respect because of their potential for human life. -- Davis v. Davis, 842 SW 2d 588 - Tenn: Supreme Court 1992
I wonder if the same argument would apply to preserved adults, if the technology advanced from the current state of “almost certainly information theoretically dead” to one with “potential for human life”?
