[extropy-chat] Cryonics on Boston Legal

[Brian Atkins]

The judge has some good lines near the end:

JUDGE BILLMEYER:
Mr. Bombay, it seems ironic, if not
indecent, that the state's interest
in preserving life... should mandate
that you die a wrenching and painful
death, rather than be frozen in the
hopes of finding a cure. But that's
the law as it stands today. We
live in a country that celebrates
individual liberties and personal
autonomy. But when it comes to
controlling your own destiny...
this is a freedom that does not yet
ring. I will pray for you. But I
cannot grant you your request.
Your motion is denied.

After that, Mr Bombay doesn't give up, and decides to go to Arizona to 
pursue his case. Pretty good episode for mainstream TV.
