Subject: _The Futurist_ gives me an idea.

>From "The Cyber Future: 92 Ways Our Lives Will Change by the Year 2025," by
Edward Cornish, _The Futurist_, January-February 1996:

"78.  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.

By working hard and saving my money (which I reluctantly have to use in the
meantime), I intend to become an abiolytic >H and a facultative anagorobe.

Look out for my Web Page, still under construction, which will debut sometime in
January.
