Response to Re: Accuracy? |
| BJ's objection to cryonics and the presentation of the "greasy" note are accurate. As I understand it, a handwritten note can't take precedent over an official will in Florida, so yes, somebody dropped the ball. The "greasy" note was never accepted in a court of law, only by the executor of the estate. Given enough money it's thought TW could be freed on those grounds, but nobody has that kind of money.
The rest? I don't know anything about Dora Kent; I haven't read any of the fictional accounts of cryonics. There are published photos of TW and family, documents from the TW case, internet news articles and videos from the time which I assume are as more or less accurate as anything else you read in the paper.
Larry Johnson claimed the TW freezing was botched in the Sports Illustrated article: Alcor claims it was the finest procedure they ever performed. I imagine the accuracy of that is somewhere between those two extremes.
I doubt anyone here wants to rehash any of this... |
