X-Message-Number: 13042 From: "Scott Badger" <> References: <> Subject: The Life-Extension Meme Date: Sun, 2 Jan 2000 09:52:59 -0600 I just noticed something that struck me as an optimistic note for cryonicists and life-extensionists in general. MSNBC online maintains a top 10 list of their articles. That is, at the end of every article readers are asked to provide a rating from 1 to 7. Currently, the #1 article is titled, "How long will you live -- Really?". http://www.msnbc.com/modules/quizzes/lifex.asp And yesterday, I was standing at the info desk in Barnes & Noble waiting my turn behind a gentleman who appeared to be in his seventies looking for a book on life-extension. It seems to me this meme has really taken off over the last couple years. No big surprise, I guess, with the string of breakthroughs and the subsequent media coverage and the many books written on the subject. I'm just pleased with the increased potential for interest in and acceptance of cryonics. Best regards, Scott Badger Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=13042
