Maybe I am just an arrogant know-it-all, but what I just heard on the evening news just struck me as, umm...interesting. ======= Alan Hemberger, an 50-something news anchor for a news station here in Houston just ran a feature about Near Death experiences. After some new age type blathered on about where the consciousness goes when one dies, Hemberger came back on and closed with a Serious Tone: "This raises the question of what would happen with a brain transplant. Would your personality be the that of the person whose brain you are getting, or your OWN personality?" ---------- Well, I think that this just points out that the vast majority of people just are not prepared to intelligently discuss the issues related to cryonics.... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
