Subject: CRYONICS:Autopsies in Arkansas


Recently, in the middle of a Usenet news group which has nothing to do 
with cryonics, I saw mention that one of Clinton's last acts as governor 
of Arkansas was to sign a bill into law which removes the legal need for 
an autopsy after suicide.

I don't know if this is true, or how individual medical examiners will
repond to it, but it might mean that Arkansas is now a relatively benign
place for cryonics patients who wish to terminate their lives because of
incurable medical conditions and prefer not to have to deprive themselves
of food and fluids (the usual method imposed by the need to avoid an
autopsy). 

Does anyone on CryoNet live in Arkansas?
