I am adding this to my "bumper sticker" collection - "Cryonics a Cool Way to Go!" :o) This article from LA Times requires very quick registration - but it's awesome! By BART KOSKO, a professor of electrical engineering at USC and author of "Heaven in a Chip" (Random House, 2000), is on the science advisory board of the nonprofit Alcor cryonics corporation. ************************** Go ahead and laugh at cryonics. Denounce those who would suspend the late Ted Williams in liquid nitrogen in the hope that future science will somehow resurrect him, one cell at a time. You're in good company: Church groups uniformly oppose cryonics. British Columbia outlaws it. The $25-billion funeral industry opposes cryonics even more vigorously than it opposed cremation before the 1960s. It buries about 6,000 people every day in expensive coffins, while only a thousand or so folks have signed up for cryonics and only about 100 actually lie in cryo-suspension. http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-oe-kosko19jul19.story?nu ll ************************** Sincerely, IGGY Dybal Your Real Estate Consultant - Kansas City - RE/MAX Best E-mail: mailto: Web site: http://www.iggy.net Office: 913-894-4024 Toll-free: 877-550-IGGY/4449 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=19572
