Aargh!  That's three -- I can't hold back any longer!

Note well:  "it's" is ONLY to be used as an abbreviation of "it is".  In any 
other other context, use "its".  So if you get confused, replace "it's" with
"it is" -- if it sounds dumb, use "its".  It's important to use each word in 
its proper place.  

Phew, now that I've gotten that off my chest...

I can hardly help but find it amusing that Appraisco put these two in the 
same Cryonet digest...

The brief answer to your question is "Yes!".  What I wrote was:

The "without cryonic suspension" is intended as a wish that he survive
long enough not to require it.  I had hoped that Cryonet readers would
have pegged me as a non-mystic, and thus reasoned that my only hope of
seeing eternity with Stephen Hawking is if he himself is physically 
immortal.

BTW, George would be cool too, but in my book Stephen would win hands-
down if I had to choose one.
