I had thought that, like other suicides, assisted suicide in Oregon is generally followed by autopsy. A little searching turned up cryomsg 11428, which quotes an Oregon medical examiner saying that if, hypothetically, the person who committed suicide hadn't been cremated, he wouldn't have been autopsied. Is there hope of something useful to cryonics here? http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/dsp.cgi?msg=11428 -- 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=24129
