True.  I usually don't bring up the life extension thing to most people
these days.  If they ask me, I'll tell them, but I don't broadcast like
I used to.  (This brings up another point.  I recall several years
ago -- mid-1990s -- being at a cryonics meeting and half of the crowd -- 
it was a group of about 8 people -- were obese and eating junk food.
Cryonics is a long shot and probably worth taking, but why not also take
the even less chancey strategy of taking care of your overall health as
well?  The two should not be seen as mutually exclusive...)
