Subject: Life Extension Prize

Something I think needs some discussion is a life
extension prize similar to the one at mprize.org but
focused on cryonics. My sense is that the cryonic
suspension of a mouse or other mammal should be big
news. 
I expect this is some years off. However, I also think
that having a prize with a few million dollars in the
pot would accelerate that result substantially.

We've seen that recently with the Netflix prize where
when they put a million bucks in the pot, they beat
the previous record holder in a few weeks. 

I'd also like to think in terms of interim results
that are important here.
