Mark Plus I believe that you are correct and that many women do sign up to please the men in their lives. The shoe is on the other foot for me though. I'm going to sign up for cryonics because I never want to experience permanent death. I love life and I want to be immortal through any means possible. My partner is also interested in cryonics and he wants to sign up as well. I know he would sign up just to please me even if he was not convinced of the benefits of being cryopreserved. I think this is the kindest and most thoughtful thing a mate can do. Melissa Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=21701
