Subject: James Swayze doesn't need cryonics . . .

What he needs is a total sub-cephalic body replacement, and an implanted 
vagus nerve stimulater.

This month's Wired magazine details the work of Robert White who claims 
to be willing to perform the needed transplant for 2 million dollars.

The quality of life improvements that vagus nerve stimulation can provide 
are something widely reported on a few months ago. Sorry, don't have links,
 handy on either of these two ideas now.


But I hereby pledge (FWIW, which may not be much since I'm posting 
pseudonymously) 
$1000.00 towards a charity body replacement, if enough others come forward.

All of you who have been arguing what a crummy product cryonics is, I expect 
will support this idea vigorously.
