Subject: Cryonics On Death Row

Hi:
     In post #14661, Jeff Davis mentioned this suggestion to use
cryonics for death row inmates.   As a matter of fact, while I was
dealing with a bout of insomnia early yesterday morning, I heard a
report about this on KGO-AM, which is the main ABC newsradio station in
San Francisco.   I emailed the station to find out the source of the
story.   They responded that I ought to contact their newsroom.  When I
called there, the fellow who answered didn't know anything about it.
My hazy recollection of the report was that a Mayor or political leader
on the U.S. East Coast (somehow "Hartford, Connecticut" gets stuck in
here...)proposed the murderers on ice idea.  I wanted to respond to the
source with a reality check about the current state of cryonics with
further comment about this particular use of the option.  Does anyone
know more about this story?  I'd like to research this, find sources,
etc.  Thanks for your time!
    Best Regards!  John B. Krug
