X-Message-Number: 3463 Date: Sun, 11 Dec 1994 01:13:34 -0500 (EST) From: Charles Platt <> Subject: CRYONICS:Autopsies in Arkansas Recently, in the middle of a Usenet news group which has nothing to do with cryonics, I saw mention that one of Clinton's last acts as governor of Arkansas was to sign a bill into law which removes the legal need for an autopsy after suicide. I don't know if this is true, or how individual medical examiners will repond to it, but it might mean that Arkansas is now a relatively benign place for cryonics patients who wish to terminate their lives because of incurable medical conditions and prefer not to have to deprive themselves of food and fluids (the usual method imposed by the need to avoid an autopsy). Does anyone on CryoNet live in Arkansas? ############################################################ Charles Platt, 1133 Broadway (room 1214), New York, NY 10010 Voice: 212 929 3983 Fax: 212 929 4467 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=3463
