Larry King Finds Hope in Cryonics
In an in-depth interview with the New York Times, Larry King revealed a lot about his life and career. But what really stood out was his understanding of his death, or rather lack thereof. He plans to avoid death by opting for the "Ted Williams treatment." As the story says, "He has arranged to his body frozen and then thawed out when researches discover a cure for whatever killed him." King goes on to tell the NYT writer, "the people behind cryonics are 'all nuts,' but at least if he knows he will be frozen he will die with a shred of hope." This gives King hope because "Other people have no hope."
Possible Preaching Angle
Finding hope in cryonics, I know a better "C" word to find ultimate hope in death, Christ.
