I think this is a very bad idea given the following facts: 1. The house/bookie/insurance agency is this case is a bunch of people/organizations with a lot of money. 2. Cryonics is not beloved by the American public. 3. Therefore, the house/bookie/insurance agency could easily buy the Congress/Senate et al., with "campaign contributions" to pass a law against cryonics, thus virtually ensuring their bet....and killing all of us.... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
