This goes for either cryonics organization. All that is needed is to elicite the help of some wealthy entity tht seeks ublicity for themsleves and cna justify the associaion wih a noted individual and a jaw dropping topic like cryonics. A possible theoretic example could be a newly offered science magzine needing to promote itself by paying for the suspension ofnoted Nobel Lauerate X via he vehicle of doing an expose' article on the up and coming practice of cryonics and why would a man of such distinction even consider such a thing? This could work for an existing science or technology magazine especially a computer tech one with the addition of someone like B. Gates or L. Elison or P. Allen, etc. Heck! It doesn't even need to be a magazine. It can be any entity seeking some splash and willing to get a magazine or TV News entity involved ot expose' their offer. >Must go for now, have 364 emails and a stack of mail a meter high, with >cryonics sales to process and wonderful people to serve.
