    Option 1, you suddenly find yourself yanked out of the afterlife, just after you've found where the best harp tutor is to be found. You've also found that your property now legally belongs to your heirs.

    Option 2, you regret not having thoroughly checked that consent form, it may be the only thought you will ever have. You also have no method of paying for your healthcare.

    Blegh - just thought.

    In the 50's it was almost impossible to get out of a sanatarium, and many patients were used in scientific testing.

    Option one - complete (or partial) success but, as you're still legally dead, you still belong to the company and therefore spend the rest of your existence being experimented on.
    That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

    Option X
    Those multiple life sentences have just become a reality.
    7 consecutive life sentences, 6 revivals and being used for testing anti-aging/longevity treatments in between (or the further development of man-machine interfaces for the Terminator fans)

    I'm certain I remember reading about someone who was certified brain dead and to everyone's astonishment they woke up after all and had been aware of things that had happened during the time they were thought to be brain dead (People's conversations, comings and goings.). I think it was a couple of years ago.
    Perhaps that is why this is being done.

    I'll bring the Twiglets. Tried to post earlier, along the lines of finally having the time to train as a lawyer post mortem like Mr. Slant (for fellow Pratchett fans) but got interrupted.

    I'd be very interested to find out, if activity in the brain stem was detected, just what was in there... Or maybe I wouldn't!

    Well, as I've always said:-

    I don't need to to be dead, to donate my organ. ;)
  • Just observed the passage of the ISS, and it was a bright one. :cool:

    I'll be staying up until ~ 0100hrs, to observe the next one, which will also be a bright (magnitude 3.9) one.
