Subject: CRYONICS: Elvis

	Regarding Elvis and cryonics.  I remember hearing rumors to the
effect that Elvis had inquired about cryonic suspension.  The time I heard
these rumors was BEFORE his death, so that lends some credibility to them.

	 I also have some vague recollection of seeing a bit in THE
IMMORTALIST about Elvis having contacted CI about cryonics, but never
having followed through.  Given the crude and low production state that
cryonics in general is in now (this was even MORE so then) it is not
surprizing there was no follow-through.  Equally a consideration in lack
of follow-through was the apparently crude and low production state Elvis
himself was in at this time (I have read two Elvis biographies plus the
ME's report).

	Those with a compelling further interest can contact:

            Mae Ettinger

	And, no, don't get your hopes up.  Elvis was not frozen.  Judging
from the supermarket tabloids he never died in the first place...and
what's more apparently never will.
