I know of one almost guaranteed to accept it, the magazine "Physical Immortality", produced by The Society for Venturism. Then it can be said to have been published and maybe then made more tasty for pickup by other magazines. James -- Cryonics Institute of Michigan Member! The Immortalist Society Member!

MY WEBSITE: http://www.geocities.com/~davidpascal/swayze/ Signature Memetic Virus--The worst enemy of those who now or will need medical care is the uninformed politician or moral fanatic who proscribe what doctors are allowed to prescribe and research, with the consent of their patients. Those who understand this are strongly encouraged to modify this to fit their personality, and add this to their signature file, and organize to recover our freedom from Big Brother. For those who wait until they are sick, it will be too late. Those who suffer from diseases which might have been cured by advanced medical research or schedule 1 drugs banned by Big Brother, have the right to hold accountable those who sat on their hands or worse, deferred their responsibility for personal and humanity's survival to unseen agents, while they remained ill and dying.
