If minimizing the risk of dying is anywhere prominent on a list of goals that are being pursued with any degree of rationality, then one would expect nearly all of us to exercise vigorously and regularly. The exceptions are the ones who are obviously physically disabled or are battling some other disease that gets in the way. I know of one or two people who fit in this category. I suppose the people who sign up for cryonics expectting to die soon are usually exceptions, but I rarely get to know them. >Can you support such a generalization or are you speaking for >yourself and a few cryonicists you know? I like my exercise program, so I'm not speaking for myself. I know more than a few cryonicists, but I haven't calculated any statistics. If someone who knows 10 or more cryonicists disagrees with me, I'd like to know. On the average we're kinda heavy, and the weight ain't muscle; this is blindingly obvious. -- Tim Freeman GPG public key fingerprint ECDF 46F8 3B80 BB9E 575D 7180 76DF FE00 34B1 5C78 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=23475
