know of our favorite quote from Benjamin
Franklin:
I wish it were possible, [reference to experiments in
which he revived flies drowned in Madeira wine], to
invent a method of embalming . . . a
few friends in a cask of Madeira, until that time, then
to be recalled . . . It is less well known that when Franklin died in 1791, he left a
trust . . . 000 with no taxes or spending). Thus Franklin's trust
provided proof-of-principle that cryonic suspension funding *can
work*. If only Franklin had instructed his executors to preserve
him in a cask of Madeira, his trust could surely have paid the
maintenance, and Ben would still be around today--pleasantly
pickled!
