Your chance to win life after death...
http://www.newscientist.com/competition/
New Scientist brings you the choice of a lifetime.
Live Later
and have your body cryogenically preserved. Cryonics - the idea of freezing people when they die ready to be revived and restored to health centuries in the future- has always been controversial. Will it ever work? Here's your chance to find out. If you choose the cryonics prize your body will frozen at the Cryonics Institute in Michigan upon your death.
Live Now
and jet off to Hawaii with a friend. If you'd rather leave the future to itself New Scientist will fly you and a friend to Hawaii for a week to visit the world's highest observatory. Look back millions of years by viewing the stars from Mauna Kea.
It's your choice.
All you have to do to enter the weirdest competition in the world is collect three differently numbered coupons from the new-look New Scientist (which appear in each issue until 19 October) and answer the four questions below. The Bonus Voucher can be used in place of any ONE of the vouchers from the magazine.

To help you decide, we do have a discussion of this subject in the FAQ section of the BBS, FAQ: Cryonics, medical or embalming technology?.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. - Steven Weinberg, 1999
