Well, I am sure we can each recommend a better spokesperson, e.g., Mother
Teresa (were she alive ,etc). But you take what you can get. My position is
that having the world's most famous face say that he wants to live forever,
well, considering the present state of affairs, and recent history, it aint
such a bad thing. After all, look at the Ted Williams affair. The news media
was in large part strongly disgusted by the concept (or at least that was the
slant of most coverage), but Alcor's membership numbers are busting through
the roof.
