[ExI] Cryonics is getting weird

[spike]

OK, I added in Brent Allsop's insightful observations and commentary to the
score sheet.  Brent and I face similar problems: a family mostly willing,
possibly eager, to deny our dying wishes for religious reasons.  {8-[

Brent is far too nice, thinking of how to help his siblings, even if they
fail to carry out his wishes.  After I read his missive, I changed the order
of my 2nd and 3rd choices, but I may change it back to where I had it
before.  

There are two voices in particular I still haven't heard, but I will not
call out their names in case they wish to post with anonymity.  Since they
are influential types, I can imagine a good reason why they would want to
think carefully.

In any case, here is where we stand:
 
 
> 	Quad 1) refund, no dig
> 	Quad 2) no refund, no dig
> 	Quad 3) refund, dig
> 	Quad 4) no refund, dig.

Score so far:

Quad 1) 	spike's 2nd, Brent's 3rd

Quad 2)	BillK?, spike's 3rd, Damien, Samantha, David Lubkin's 2nd.

Quad 3)	Tim Halterman's 2nd, Brent's 2nd 

Quad 4)	Alcor, Mirco, Dave Sill, spike, Holly Gray, Tim Halterman, Jeff
Davis, Stefano(?), David Lubkin, Brent Allsop.
