No, Erik, it was not suggested. Nor do I think that this homily is an appropriate slogan for life extension or cryonics. It sounds to me more like a rationalization for death as not really being a loss. In my experience death has caused the loss of many precious people whose love is irreplaceable. Which is not to say that there cannot be plenty of love in the world. Certainly, "life goes on" after people die. Below is the list of cryonics/life extension slogans that I compiled from the CI list and other sources. I only made bumper stickers or shirts for slogans when there was a serious commitment to buying products with those slogans. In my mind, those most appropriate to the "love-connection" are: Why should love die? Time enough for love The second, of course, is the title of a Heinlein novel. The first is somewhat the opposite of the slogan you suggested, an acknowledgment that death is a tragic loss of love as well as of life. Below is the complete list of suggested slogans. -- Ben Best Coldly Going Where Few Have Gone Before Cryonicists make Better Lovers, We last a Really Long Time Why die when you can vitrify?
