If it is cryonic suspension, then the best time is in middle age, when people are coming to terms with their mortality." Actually, the survey I conducted a few years ago indicated just the opposite (WTA's Journal of Evolution and Technology, Dec 1998). I think the middle-aged are too involved in their lives to really think that much about their deaths. The most interested were the younger and the older populations. Obviously the latter group has the money. This, I believe, is precisely why the new cryonics firm in Florida intends to market their services to an elderly demographic. I've been waiting to see someone try this for a long time. It's most likely a preferable solution to a faith-based cryonics cult. It's too bad they're having so many difficulties with state regulation issues. I hope that problem is resolved son. Sadly, I may need a contingency plan if the Larry Johnson fiasco continues to mushroom. ===== Scott Badger, Ph.D. Member: ALCOR, Extropy Insitute, Life Extension Foundation Assistant Professor/Researcher-University of Idaho Two Original CD's "Phenom" and "Burdens" available at: www.mp3.com/scottbadger __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
