The fight for the remains of a Burlington man who wanted to have a cryonics firm
freeze his head after he died, appears headed to  Iowa's highest court. 


On Wednesday [12 August?], Alcor Life Extension Foundation, a non-profit 
corporation based out of Scotsdale, Ariz., appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court, 
asking it to review the ruling made by Des Moines County District Court denying 
to compel the siblings of Orville Martin Richardson to consent to disinter the 
body of their brother to be suspended in a cryonic process.
