[ExI] FW: Larry King wants to be cryopreserved

[Max More]

It is not confirmed yet, but looks very likely to go ahead: On January 11,
I'm scheduled to appeared on the Dr. Oz Show alongside Larry King. There
will probably be a couple of other people who are not yet confirmed. The
producer tells me that Larry King has confirmed. (The show also wants to
film at Alcor the week before the in-studio appearance.)

I've never seen the show, but it clearly has a large audience, and Mr King
is popular. Celebrities can be as much of a problem for cryonics as an
opportunity, but this case seems fairly likely to be beneficial.
