	You mean the option to be *cryopreserved* ;).  In all
seriousness, I've seen people who wanted cryonics BADLY and didn't
get it because they lived in the wrong country, they couldn't
afford it, relatives interfered with it, authorities interfered
with it, their cryonics company failed, etc. etc. etc.  Now it's 
suggested that all someone needs to do to get a state-of-art
cryopreservation is go out and mass murder some women and
children?  Well, you can guess what I (or anyone else who has
busted their butt trying to get real people frozen) think of
that idea.

	Then oppose the death penalty.  Please don't mix cryonics 
with death penalty discussions.  It's not an association that
will do cryonics any good.  Believe me.
