Sure, Randy, but the point of the original post was not to refute
your notion with an exception. It was in a sense to support your
idea that Mexican culture is oddly incompatible with cryonics.
For reasons that escape me, some societies place far more
value on tradition and history than we do. Higher education
does not seem to erase that bias. I suspect most societies
are more traditional than technologically advanced cultures,
where all the really important stuff happened very recently. spike
