X-Message-Number: 4183 Date: Mon, 10 Apr 95 10:12:46 From: John de Rivaz <> Subject: Autopsy Horror Exposure - video available On the evening of 9 April the BBC broadcast a program in their Everyman series on the rituals of death. A large part of the program was taken up with the process of autopsy, and showed scenes of men chiselling the top of deanimated people's heads in order to rip out the brain and weigh it. The program was not a campaign against autopsy, and did not take up any position. However the scenes may be of value to anyone proposing to campaign for improved freedom of ownership over one's own body and rights to refuse autopsy. I have facilities to convert the program to NTSC (or any other television standard) should any cryonics or affiliated organisation want it. I also have facilities to convert television scenes into computer avi files should anyone want them for WWW contributions or computer audio visual presentations. However the computer facilities are not operational at present owing to an intermittent fault on the motherboard, and I have been told I could wait any time between a week and several months for a replacement chip required. (Isn't technology wonderful!) -- Sincerely, **************************************** * Publisher of Longevity Report * John de Rivaz * Fractal Report * * details on request * **************************************** **** What is the point of life if it ends in death? **** Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4183
