X-Message-Number: 1723 From: (Wil McCarthy) Newsgroups: sci.cryonics Subject: Inca "Mummy" Message-ID: <> Date: 8 Feb 93 17:00:30 GMT CNN ran a segment this weekend about an Inca "mummy," a young prince who was drugged and buried alive in a mountain tomb. According to the interviewed scientists, the boy is not dead, though his shriveled body is on display in a glass case! Because of the drugs, they said, the boy went to sleep and slowly cooled until his body was frozen. The commentator even went so far as to state that medical science might some day be able to bring the "mummy" back to life. If this is as farfetched as it sounds to me, one must wonder what drugs these South American doctors have been taking! +------------------------------------+------------------------------+ | The ideal state provides its | Wil McCarthy | | citizens with the tools to succeed | Martin Marietta Corporation | | and the freedom to fail. | I made this stuff up myself. | +------------------------------------+------------------------------+ Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1723
