Philip Rhoades has instructed his lawyers to lodge a zoning application with the local shire council at Cowra, in central west New South Wales, so he can keep his mum and dad close by, until the day comes when he can have them re-animated with the help of nanotechnology. Nick Grimm reports. NICK GRIMM: Philip Rhoades wants to see his parents stone cold dead sometime in the not-too-distant future. But before anyone gets the wrong idea, it's not that Mr Rhoades wishes ill of his mum and dad who are only aged in their 70s. In fact, he wants them to live forever with him. http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2004/s1069506.htm -- Gina "Nanogirl" Miller Nanotechnology Industries http://www.nanoindustries.com Personal: http://www.nanogirl.com Foresight Senior Associate http://www.foresight.org Nanotechnology Advisor Extropy Institute http://www.extropy.org Tech-Aid Advisor http://www.tech-aid.info/t/all-about.html Email: "Nanotechnology: Solutions for the future."
