People are so keen to force tax money and lots of rights on "pretty little babies" and relatively little for "ugly smelly geriatrics", and seem completely unable to see the point that they are actually part of the same thing. In an Internet debate, many people in favour of compulsory post mortem dissection rammed home the point that "dead bodies have no rights" and claimed that anyone supporting choice and/or cryopreservation is "against life". -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz: http://www.deRivaz.com : http://www.AlecHarleyReeves.com http://www.longevity-report.com : http://www.autopsychoice.com : http://www.cryonics-europe.org http://www.porthtowan.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=19223
