How about George Burns? Cryonic suspension would work wonderfully into his longevity/near-immortality schtick. There's even a Far Side cartoon suggesting that Burns will still be around in an age when cars have been replaced by personal flyers. Well, why not? Alcor has flirted with the idea of giving a freebie to someone famous in order to generate some publicity, and I can't think of anyone more appropriate. Burns seems to pride himself on being open to new ideas and keeping a young outlook on life; he might just go along with it. ---Ken Stone Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4562
