   No, Erik, it was not suggested. Nor do I think
that this homily is an appropriate slogan for life
extension or cryonics. It sounds to me more like
a rationalization for death as not really being
a loss. In my experience death has caused
the loss of many precious people whose love
is irreplaceable. Which is not to say that
there cannot be plenty of love in the world.
Certainly, "life goes on" after people die.

  Below is the list of cryonics/life extension
slogans that I compiled from the CI list and
other sources. I only made bumper stickers
or shirts for slogans when there was a
serious commitment to buying products with
those slogans. In my mind, those most
appropriate to the "love-connection" are:

Why should love die?
Time enough for love

The second, of course, is the title of a
Heinlein novel. The first is somewhat the
opposite of the slogan you suggested,
an acknowledgment that death is a
tragic loss of love as well as of life.

Below is the complete list of suggested slogans.
