Cyberspace will contain huge 'memorial gardens' for the dead. "Already the World Wide Web has a Virtual Memorial Garden where friends and family can display epitaphs and pictures of their loved ones. "In the past, most people departed this life with little or no notice being taken; only exceptional people merited obituaries except in small towns. Now, the most humble may have a home page bearing testimony to their achievements, however modest, and their personalities, however common. Dead pets will also have their home pages, along with defunct houses, cars, and other favored objects." Has anyone thought of doing something similar for patients in cryonic suspension? It would put a human face on an experimental medical procedure a lot of people find really creepy.
