I have my cryonics contract with the Cryonics Institute funded through
First Colony Life Insurance Company, which is a
GE financial company. General Electric and it's insurance division has been around for a good number of years, so I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing. This Richard C. Jaffeson bozo at the site listed above just doesn't have a "legal" case to stand on.
What a crock this site is! [8)]
I love this bit.
One of the greatest baseball players who ever lived
currently remains frozen in two separate metal devices
at a laboratory in Arizona. This disposition was not in
his 1996 Will, nor did he contract for such treatment.
Join these efforts to have him released so his remains
can be finally given the respect and dignity which he
so richly deserves. Ted Williams is a national icon and
American baseball hero. Your efforts can ensure that
he regains his rightful place in our hearts and memories.
HOW is it showing someone respect, and preserving their dignity to take a person you admire and dump them in a hole in the ground to rot like an old sack of garbage?!! [huh] [angry] Well actually, he alledgedly wanted to be cremated, not buried, but is that really any better? I
mean shoving his beloved body into an oven and cooking him into a smoking pile of ash leaves him with more dignity? [huh]
"Your efforts can ensure that he regains his rightful place in our hearts and memories." This steaming pile of attitude just makes me sick! [sick] [angry]
This guy, and other fans like him who have spouted this same egotistic drivel, don't
really give a rat's arse for Ted Williams or his supposedly shocking and dissapointing fate! To Hell with Ted Williams, it's really
all about them! They want "closure!" They want a mausoleum somewhere that they can make pilgrimages to! They feel he's been stolen from them!
Them,
them,
them, it's all about
them!From what little I've heard of the man, he sounded like a guy who lived his life on his own terms, and to hell with what other people expected of him. So, you'd
think that thumbing his nose at Death, and grabbing ahold of another chance at life through cryonics, would be seen as a final act of the old Ted Williams self-determination! A final act of
dignity!You'd
think the fans would be happy with that! No, no, it's all about them. They want a shrine they can cry and leave flowers at.
