Subject: Appeals court hears cryonics arguments over Orville Martin Ri...
Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2010 14:49:11 +0100

The Iowa Court of Appeals on Tuesday heard oral arguments in the case 
involving the fight for the remains of a Burlington man, who decided to have 
a cryonics firm freeze his head after he died.

Alcor Life Extension Foundation, a nonprofit corporation based out of 
Scotsdale, Ariz., filed the case and asked the appellate court to review the 
ruling made by Des Moines County District Court that refused to force 
Orville Martin Richardson's siblings to consent to disinter the body for 
suspension in a cryonic process.
