This URL http://news.google.com/news?q=cryonics&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d from a search of google news headlines shows that at least dozens--and possibly hundreds--of newspapers are running a short, generic article on the contest. The timing of this contest is perfect, with respect to the recent Ted Williams story. Kudos to CI, Robert Ettinger, and New Scientist, and espcially to Ted Williams' family for causing all this. As we all noticed during the height of the Willams story, cryonics evokes strong feeling of dislike, and often even revulsion, in what seems to be the majority of people. But most births are difficult, and I have to think that all this publicity is going to precipitate some social change. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
