Hello everyone,

Subject: re: cryopause

 suggests `cryopause' instead of `suicide' in the relevant
context. I think this could be a winner (even though, to the cryo expert
and lexicographer alike, `cryopause' presumably means the temporary
*suspension* of cooling - exactly the opposite of what is intended here).

I personally think "cryopause" is a good term but also "lifepause" could be 
a good descriptive word to show that we intend only a pause from life and 
are not committing suicide.  The very word "cryo" can turn off alot of 
different groups.  Besides chosing the right terms and paradigms we need 
major improvements in cryosuspension technology(and they could be here now 
courtesy of 21st Century Medicine), a hundred million plus to advertise and 
mount a legal challenge and celebrity boosters like Arnold and Bruce!

Sincerely,

John Grigg
