He is shown standing with something looking roughly like a diving helmet and he says, "I'm Timothy Leary, and, I'm not dead. Matter of fact, I have no intention of dying. [lifts up "helmet"] When I choose, I'm going to have my brain transplanted into this brain bank. And I'll come back in the body I choose, when I choose. "Next time, my contract says, I'll come back as either an oriental or black woman. When? I'm not going to be brought back during a Republican administration." The spot is well done, and puts a good light on cryonics, in my opinion. Too bad he didn't follow through.
