I am also curious if cryonics has ever been remotely regarded by the political community. It's conceivable, to me, that "esoteric" life extension methods such as cryonics could become platform issues in future elections. Just as our government-dominated space program is in the midst of decentralizing, I foresee the opposite trend occuring in life-extension research. Has federal cryonic suspension ever been entertained as a possibility, other tahn in Norman Spinrad's "Bug Jack Barron"? --Mac Tonnies Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4867
