    Lancer, there was a recent presentation about life extension in TED. It should be on Youtube.

      Well, anti-gravity is up in the air, life extention is a bit of a stretch, and perpetual motion can't be pinned down.

              I'd say: don't get your hope up, don't hold your breath, and don't get wound up.

                    Actually, you set up a perpetual trust (in a state that allows them) and keep the money earning interest or whatever (and paying for the cryogenic stuff). Then when 150 years or whatever happens, or earlier, they get $5m or whatever, plus 150 years of interest, to defrost you

                    I know someone who is doing this, so it's not just fantasy
